Book Reading -Miscellaneous Books Read (2012)

General Comment: As mentioned earlier posts, I have embarked on writing a few words on all the books that I may read in my retirement.

Since 2011, I have refrained to read serious books - on politics, spirituality, philososphy, society etc but I like to read -so I have gone reading light books to entertain me.

Both my kids have got KINDLE (electronic reading) but i have not . The younger lot like gadgets - new ones all the times but senior like me is finding that to be a bit overwhelming.

These days I am in Mystery books . I have reverted to my teenage passion.

The first book I read after the new year 2012 is Agatha Christie book - which I bought for a  dollar from the local (deep River) library, They are discarding many old books .

The book title is ” Five Little Pigs” .This is about a painter (Amyas Crate) who was murdered and his wife got charged and convicted a  murderer BUT after 16 years had passed - her  daughter (Carla) - who was in her early teens and was on thye cusp of marriage - was not comfortable that her mother was convicted as a murderer and she wanted to find the truth behind the case.  She engaged the famous & brilliant detective ” Hercule Poirot” to unravel begind the case. He set about interviewing the old companions of the painter and then lo behold found the Carla’s mother was innocent and the another lady (whose picture the painter was painting) killed him.

The next two books i have recently completed are Perry Mason books. The local librarian had NOT heard about thsio famous fictitious Lawyer - whose books were vary pupular when I was teenager. So I got two books using the “Inter-library” system.

All Perry Mason books are written by Erle Stanley Gardner .

The first Perry Mason book I read recently is ” The Case of the Half-wakened Wife”  - a paper back book from Greater Madawaska Public Library, Calabogie, ON.

The second Perry Mason book I read recently is The Case of Foot-Loose Doll ” -  a hard cover book from Alliston Public Library , Alliston, ON. This is also a large letter book for visually impaired.
