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)?

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.

Or perhaps on the absolute cutting edge of a new breed of well-read, but perpetually squinting sleuths.

Environment, shmenvironment, I can't stand reading on a computer screen. It makes my eyes want to bleed. I get enough of that working and studying that when I read for pleasure, the absolute LAST thing I'd want to do is look at a monitor of any sort. Plus it's just generally kinda nice to have some time not totally colonized by the digital juggernaut.

Dont worry Jim, we could share a cell in case you ever get sent off in a mental institution. Finished reading Deathly Hallows this morning and as I hadnt anything else to do on a Sunday went and read The Adventure of the Empty House cause it was fairly short =P. Just finished it and I dont think Ill read the other books through here again.... my back hurts. -.-

I read 'Secret Adversary' one very wet Sunday afternoon. Haven't tried any of the others, but I might now that I have an exciting new office chair with lumbar support.

On the other hand, I might just stick to the huge pile of paper books to read that's currently threatening to take over the bedroom...

Never read any of the books on here. I don't have that much focus. If anything, I would have to print the thing out and read, but I rather not go through all the trouble:)

Well, I plan to try and collect all the books in the game eventually, and possibly also read them. Just for the heck of it.

There should be a dossier file..

I just finished HP. It was very good. Hate for the story to end though.
