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.
