I've never really read short stories, but I have a couple of collections on my shelf that I should keep handy for when I want to take a break from the bigger books every now and then.
Hi Chas- I have only read a couple of Agatha Christi books. Short stories sound interesting. Also today my copy of Talindor’s Guest arrived 💖 I hear the author is amazing and I am looking forward to the read 😎
@@BookishChas my pleasure. Also would love to do another live stream with you perhaps in March or April depending on your schedule. Plus gives me time to read the book so we can chat about that and some of your other books.
Yes there is definitely that, but considering the time period it’s not surprising. That doesn’t excuse it, but cultural ignorance and insensitivity was definitely a thing at that time.
@@BookishChas @BookishChas oh, yeah, I wouldn't say it's a reason not to read the book but I would flag it before recommending the book - after all, some people will find it more offensive than others
Very interesting collection, I’m not sure if I’ll ever read any of Agatha Christie’s work, but I do enjoy seeing your enthusiasm for her work.
Aww thanks! 😊 Yeah she’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I’m definitely a fan.

Yeah they really come in handy as pallet cleansers. Thanks for watching Josh!

Aww shucks, thank you Elaine! I hope you enjoy it. The short stories are quite good.

@Cobaltdragon oh sure, that would be great! I’d love to.
I'd warn anyone reading this collection about the Orientalism in the Adventure of the Western Star
