Allo professor @zen any updates at BU?

How about writing one post without tagging your b1ches, bitch!

I don’t read Agatha Christie much because most of her novels have been turned into films and/or TV series. 

 

However, I have read “And Then There Were None” and “The Crooked House”. Both of them read well despite knowing how the story generally shapes up and the killer. 

 

I discovered that I have “The Mysterious Affairs at Styles” too on my Kindle so may give it a shot.  I recall watching it as a Hercule Poirot episode on TV a long time back so do not recall the killer (though reading it may refresh my memory). I may have got this one because it is Christie’s first published detective novel.

Had to get the book below:

An excerpt from the Upanishads: 

 

“The Aryans brought their gods and a religion based on ritual sacrifice, with lyrical, life-affirming hymns meant for incantation in the ancient form of Sanskrit. These hymns, dating from perhaps 1500 B.V., reveal an intimate, almost mystical bond between worshippers and environment, a simultaneous sense of awe and kinship with the sprit that dwells in all things. Even in translation they have a compelling beauty. They worship natural forces and the elemental powers of life: sun and wind, storm and rain, dawn and night, earth and heaven, fire and offering. 

 

These powers are the devas, gods and goddesses sometimes recognizable in other religions of Aryan original. In the hymns they seem very near, present before us in the forms and forces of the natural world. Fire is Agni, worshipped as the actual fore on the hearth or altar and as the divine priest who carries offerings to the god. The storm is Indra, the leader of gods and the lord of war and thunder, who rides into battles on his swift chariot to fight the dragon-demon of the sky or the enemies of the Aryan hosts. The wind is Vatican. Night is Ratri and the dawn is Usha, loveliest and the most luminous of the goddesses. The sun is Surya, who rides his chariot across the sky, or Savitri, the giver of life. And the death is Yama, the first being to die and thereby the first in the underworld.”

Btw, has anyone read “the Devotion of Suspect X”?
