The War of the Worlds is pretty simplistic by today's standards, but when putting it into context... what a creation! I really enjoyed Anna Karenina ("enjoy" might not be the right term, considering the subject matter, but oh well) and And Then There Were None is a personal favorite - I've read it 3 times. Looking forward to your thoughts on all of these!Roof Beam Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792884580084363046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-18120550379643842812017-12-11T20:26:48.918+11:002017-12-11T20:26:48.918+11:00I’m a late comer to Christie.

I didn't include them on this list as I know they'll take some heavy duty thought to get through & I already have a couple of other very slow reads I want to finish before I tackle anything else that requires much brain.

I have to say, it was my least favorite of his sci-fi hits.
