Amppax Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Oh, no, I haven't! I think someone was telling me about it though. A professor recommended it. In the forward to the book, he admits that as he was writing it (the book is the transition in worship as England was becoming Anglican) with the changes in Catholic worship in mind. So yeah, really interesting subplot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianGirlForever Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I always try to look for books that are well-written and clean, so I often end up reading classics. I don't think you want recommendations of classic novels, so I'll skip those. If you like murder mysteries, Agatha Christie is great. The books aren't well-written, but they're clean and a lot of fun! I like seeing if I can guess the who-dunnit before it's revealed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulHeart Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I never really liked murder mysteries, though I do like Sherlock Holmes. Not all of Agatha Christie's books are traditional whodunnits with detectives. :) For example, one of my very favorite Christie novels is And Then There Were None, which is about a group of people who are invited to a remote estate, where, one by one, they start dying in suspicious ways. They have to figure out who is committing the murders before it's too late. I was glued to this book; it was a real page-turner! Another of my favorite Christie novels is The Man in the Brown Suit, which is an adventure/thriller with some romance. Of course, if you want to try classic Agatha Christie, then you have to read Murder on the Orient Express, which is more the traditional detective story. Also, Sherlock Holmes is awesome. :like2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read every single one. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read every single one. :blush: I've read the first two pages of the first book. More impressively, I have seen every episode of Sherlock, which is by and large much more entertaining and stimulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianGirlForever Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I never really liked murder mysteries, though I do like Sherlock Holmes. I love Sherlock Holmes, as well. I've read all the books Doyle wrote about him. The Hound of the Baskervilles is the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Oh, that's much less impressive than reading every single one of them. :P Each episode is an hour and a half long. Considering I watched 2 of them on a day when I threw up over 70 times and I was still skilled enough to pay attention to what was going on, it is quite impressive indeed.

HopefulHeart Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have also read almost every Sherlock Holmes story. My all-time favorite is probably the Speckled Band. I've also seen nearly every episode of the older TV series with Jeremy Brett as Holmes. It is fantastic and faithful to Doyle's stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
