SA as above. I wanted to add that I don't care for Agatha Christie, either. Her writing comes off as very smug and superior to me.

Re: What Are You Reading

That's my issue as well. I don't get the same sense from Sayers, for whatever reason. Part of it is just that, again, Wimsey is such an unrealistic character that it's hard to care about him being superior. He's like Superman.

My feeling is that Wimsey has the baggage of his class, but he generally tries to be a good person. Poirot is a dick because he's based on Sherlock Holmes, and Agatha Christie thought Sherlock Holmes was a dick and Watson was a moron, which is why Hastings is a moron. Which is another reason why I dislike Agatha Christie!

Sacre! Poirot is not a dick.

+1

Although weirdly I think Such etc did a better job of that than Christie in the later stories. She clearly hated Poirot by then, just as Conan Doyle came to hate Holmes. Oh the irony.

ayrt

Poirot is certainly prickly, arrogant and a little prone to teasing and mocking (especially Hastings), but he's not an asshole. I like Suchet's portrayal as much as most people, but I meant the books, actually. Although, yeah, she definitely got tired of Poirot, but I think the issue of her last works is that most of them were simply badly written messes as a whole.
