I don't like to read, which is kind of contradictory when I play a game such as this..

So I just read "The Mysterious Affair at Style" by Agatha Christie.

Here.

In game.

Anyone else read any of the books in the game (and I mean actually read the book)?

In my younger days, I read every Agatha Christie book (3 times)...I'll admit, a bit of a freak, that one...

How long did it take you to read Mysterious Affair? Last book I read through the net was Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Took 6 hours staring at the screen eating peanuts and chips. -.- For book 7 though, I can enjoy it later tonight at home after dinner. =)

I also read Mysterious Affair primarily because of it being mentioned here in Sleuth. Next Im gonna read is Murders of the Rue Morgue, just waiting for copies to arrive at the local bookstore.

Not me. I mean, I mighta read some of them when I was a kid, but honestly the only mystery books I have any conscious memory of reading are by Robert B. Parker, Sue Grafton and Philip Kerr.

*weatherman voice* this trend will prob'ly continue at least until Ben and Sunny can mutually agree as to whether Archie Comics count as bona fide mysteries.

After all...SOMEone had to hide Jughead's hamburger. Who, oh who, could it be?

Anyone who's interested in Harry Potter... book 7 will be called "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows"

Yeah, Butch. It took me something along those lines to read it.

For those of you who didn't get it, I meant if you have ever read the books in the game, in the game. Ie read them through on the screen. ;) That's what made me fear for my sanity.

And since Lil mentioned it please keep the boards free of Harry Potter spoilers, I've got to wait for my wife to read our copy before I can get my hands on it!

lol don't worry Stoobs I'll be hotter on HP spoilers than I we are on Shangri La spoilers... (just finished :D)

Just to combine both ideas.

HP 7 is likely the last paper book I will read.

I have only read eBooks for the past few years. I have skimmed the Books here in game, but not read the full thing. I have over 275+ on my Palm at any one time so I can read when ever and where ever I am: waiting in line, bored at work, laying in bed, etc.


Waiting for the UPS person to deliver.....

I have read ALL Agatha Christie´s books and most of Arhtur Conan Doyle´s too. Edgar Allan Poe didn´t make it for me.
In my youth there were no internet and Commodore 64 was the hit.
Paper books were the thing ;)

Ok.. so I'm the only one who's actually read a book in the game I take it..

I must be losing it quicker than I thought.
