In May, 2014, I started a personal project that I had wanted to do for a long time. I decided to read Agatha Christie's whole body of work. Believe it or not, I finished in January 2015. Now I read a lot and pretty fast, but this woman wrote for AGES. She was born in the late 1800s, and died in the mid-1900s, and she wrote all the time. And the variety! I had read several of her most famous Poirot and Miss Marple books, so I was incredibly surprised to find horror stories, spy stories, about WW I, WWII, the cold war. And it was almost like a history lesson. As I read the books I could see the changes in expressions, language itself, and description of clothes. I strongly recommend trying this out, it was a great experience.

THE TURTLE MOVES
Today is a very sad day. Terry Pratchett became one of my favorite authors when I read Wyrd Sisters. Granny Weatherwax is one of the best witchy characters I have read, and I have not read few. Her idea of headology instead of magic was magnificent. Pratchett created not just really good characters, but a world, a whole universe with its own laws of physics, with its magic, a new color, and even a concept of libraries than any bibliophile finds very logical. All the characters are very human, with their flaws, and their hobbies, all recognizable and therefore easy to love. He leaves behind a huge legacy of 70 books, but I know that for many, like me, it won’t be enough. " DON’T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH".
