To Christiefan

I remember in high school when I was taking an AP Lit class we were required to read Death on the Orient Express. I felt it more correctly should have been called "Death by Boredom". I thought it was the most horribly boring novel I ever read until a little later we had to read Thomas Hardy's "The Mayor or Casterbridge" and found out just how wrong I was! LOL

Now I probably shouldn't be knocking Agatha Christie as I'm not really a fan of the mystery genre but based on her only novel I've read...I didn't get her. I thought Hercule Perot et al were excruciatingly boring. I was like...yea, yea...Miss Scarlet in the kitchen with Mr. Green.

Not a fan of Orient Express.

Holy fuck...all this time I thought the "Christie" part of christiefan...was for the former governor of our state, Chris Christie.

You have no idea of how happy this post makes me.

I agree with so much of what you post...it was upsetting for me to think you were a fan of that guy.

Lol. I'm going to put a disclaimer in my sig because you're not the first to think the name is about the former guv. This has been my one and only name on forums. I chose it back when Chris Christie wasn't national news. Happy New Year, Frank!

Did Agatha Christie write the book? If not why are you trying to derail the thread? Christie said that she wants to see the TV programme in question first and then reply, which is eminently fair.

I must say, when I first played Carmen Sandiego in the early 90s, I had no idea it would spawn a TV show with a catchy intro that I sometimes find myself singing. "Where. On. Earth. Is... Carmen Sandiego? Carmen Sandiego? Where on Earth could she be?"
