Agatha Christie mystery

I just finished Mrs. McGinty's Dead by Agatha Christie.
I can always get into an Agatha Christie novel easily. I wonder what makes her style so easily read. I must have started reading her books in my early teens, after I saw the movie, Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians with Hugh O'Brian and Fabian, made in 1965. Funny, I still like to do it that way instead of seeing the movie after the book. I think it is because if I really like a movie then I want to get the rest of the story. And I was disappointed with the movie Gone With the Wind after I had read the book more than once. Does anybody do that, enjoy a book so much, that you will sit right down and start reading the book again? Last summer I was reading High Tide for Tucson by Barbara Kingsolver, and immediately I started all over again at the beginning, then I had to go out and buy the book, and get a copy for my sister. Most books I buy I have already read once. Speaking of Barbara Kingsolver, I am still reading Animal Vegetable Miracle for our book discussion group April 28th. Makes me anxious for our Farmer's market to open up. Here is a link to the Tipp City's farmers markets and their dates of operation.

My goal this growing season is to buy more local and cook from scratch more often. I am going to keep track of what I spend on local produce and consider joining CSA,Community Supported Agriculture (And Other Farm Subscriptions)next year.
