And by a few, I of course mean a lot. Also, if you are chronicling things you read in the High School years, I believe you copped a few of my Star Wars books and read them.

As per usual, you are right. An easy mistake on my part as well as a peril of blogging without an editor. To clarify: anglophobe - a person who hates England and everything English anglophile - an admirer of England and things English It seems they are antonyms. Tricky affixes...

To clarify:
anglophobe - a person who hates England and everything English
anglophile - an admirer of England and things English

It seems they are antonyms. Tricky affixes…

Also, as a Briton myself, I believe you mean "Anglophile." Now down to brass tacks: Agatha Christie is a gem. One other feature that this reader would like to see in the future on dime.oftheweek would be a discussion of film adaptations of various Christie novels (I know of a fabulous one of "Death on the Nile" that features Mia Farrow) as well as the Bantam-Doubleday-Dell Audio Publishing versions of L'Amour classics, in particular the Bowdrie stories, now available on iTunes. Jimmeny, that sounds like a commercial, but it's not. They're just good enough to plug. Favorite Agathas: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Peril at End House, A Holiday for Murder, and Sleeping Murder. The ones you and walth have mentioned are classics for sure. And Then There Were None blows everyone's socks off the first read through. Fluffy old genius.
