One book down

How I wish I was a woman of independent means. Unfortunately, I'm a wage slave and work became more intense in the last few weeks, so my project took a back seat. Finally, we've reached the end of proper teaching. Next week is exam week and then piles of marking. In my case, marking e-portfolios which will be something new, but the novelty will be short-lived. At least I have more energy to make progress with the project.

I do still read, although barely three pages in bed before my eyelids bang shut. I've finished Death Comes As The End. I'm still puzzling about the 'as' when I would expect the word to be 'at'. Some point of grammar that is well beyond my memory I suspect. I can see why I've never heard of the book before. It's not riveting. A moody protagonist who is not well drawn. I think it would make a good spoof movie. It's a shame that Ms Christie was not able to illustrate her love for Egypt and archeology more successfully. So, as far as research for the project, this book can be binned. Thankfully.
