Etc. - Buttonhole books, question? What's your?
I consider all the Agatha Christie mysteries my "buttonhole" books. I read them over and over again. I also read and recommend Medieval mysteries although they are just not for some people. Maybe they are too historical. Also like books by Elie Wiesel i.e., Night (autobiography), The Testament and The TIme of the Uprooted. One other book that I read recently that I particularly liked was Cook's Night Out by Joanne Pence. It is a fictional mystery based on true history. Has an unexpected ending that is totally astounding. Good read.
Etc. - Question of the Week #19: Favorite Poems
My favorite poem is "Little Boy Blue" by Eugene Field. I first read it while in my teens and there was something about its bittersweet tone that really appealed to me. The book belonged to the family library but just a few years ago I found the same book (101 Famous Poems), bought it and am now reunited with my "Little Boy Blue."
Etc. - Question of the Week #16: Favorite Female Writers
My favorite woman author, and has been since I was in junior high, is Agatha Christie. Her books always contain a "motif" and I enjoy trying to figure that out as well as "who dun it?" I enjoy all the characters and they are many and varied. I have an entire collection of all her books, plays, etc. and even the books written under the pseudonymn Mary Westmacott.
