Oh dammit I caught a cold. I hope it's just a running nose, my throat hurts, but so far my voice is fine.

well maybe we should talk about Christie stories instead, and you guys who are reading them just now can find out favorites and things!
Like I would say, just skip the last Poirot novel. She only wrote it because she hated the character and didn't want to have to write him again. It's a big departure from the other Poirot stories.
And some of my favorite Christie stories are with Tommy & Tuppence and those ones aren't as well known.
Is the Montague Egg detective oevre also Christie? Those are good too.

It's so funny that she hated him :'D at the end of the day, I don't think I could ever hate anything that made me rich and well-loved around the world haha.

Well, but she already had other characters who made her rich and well-loved.
And it would be frustrating to have to write about something you did not like...
But it is funny to me, that she chose to write about him at all, if she did not like him. Why would you spend time dwelling with something you do not like?
It is an interesting personality she must have had!

But my logic says if you are already rich and well-loved then you can continue to do what you like and write about the other characters instead XD
Truly, very interesting. But I guess she might have liked him at first. Or just imagined it would be only for a little while and then she would write something else, but it got popular.

I think one can write about a character one hates to a certain extend. If that one is just a side character or the fiend of the novel anyway, it's not too bad (I guess).
Thanks jacob!
I am trying xD
Let's hope everything at work will work out!
Instead of starting a new book I picked up one I started last year, Harry Potter 2 in Russian. I think I really improved on my Russian.
