I haven't read any Poirot, but it is on my list. I watched a few episodes of the TV show and it piqued my interest. Just gotta work it into my rotation. Currently reading: Warlords of Karak Eight Peaks (Warhammer novel) Fire & Blood by G.R.R. Martin Planet of the Damned by Harry Harrison (part of The Harry Harrison Megapack) The Guns of August; The Outbreak of World War I by Barbara Tuchman The Long Ships by Frans Bengtsson Jerusalem: The Biography by Simon Sebag Montefiore I have a hard time sticking to one book at a time and using ereaders has allowed me to indulge that behavior. I try to balance reading for escape with reading to enrichment. I just wish that I had a better memory/recall. I really enjoy reading history books and trying to see how it impacts current events, but my brain doesn't retain anything. Then there are the audio books: Murder by Other Means by John Scalzi Nemesis (Warhammer 40K novel) Titan by Ron Chernow The Western Star by Craig Johnson Although I haven't listened to the audio books in a very long time. Not having two hours of commute time has killed that for me during the pandemic. Kind of looking forward to getting back to the office so that I can listen to audiobooks/podcasts again.
If you like A Song of Ice and Fire (I found myself dissatisfied after A Dance With Dragons), then Steven Erikson's Malazan Empire series is often highly recommended; I've mentioned them here before and I know a few others here like the series; but definitely ones to pace yourself with -- they're big books!
Thanks, I'll check it out. I mostly stick with the series at this point just because I want 'closure'. The first book drew me in. I was intrigued with how he killed off people that were important. F&B is kind of like reading Genesis at this point. It is just names and dates with little bits of story thrown in.
