I've suddenly become extremely busy this month and haven't been visiting other blogs as much as I usually like to. I'd love to know what you thought of it. It completely bamboozled me and I was left feeling that there was so much to draw out of it that I completely missed. Oh well ..... that's what re-reads are for, huh? ;-)Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-38171077276986951872015-04-13T10:17:23.350-07:002015-04-13T10:17:23.350-07:00I just finished reading The Man Who Was Thursday l...I just finished reading The Man Who Was Thursday last month and it completely fascinated me!

I read them all at one point but it's been long enough that I only have very vague memories of them when I read them again. But then I tend to forget detective/mystery stories ......... which is a very handy trick because when I read them again, it's like they're brand new! ;-)Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-12812685689854650682015-04-05T20:54:43.377-07:002015-04-05T20:54:43.377-07:00How far into it did you get before you put it on h...How far into it did you get before you put it on hold? I'm surprised that you could put it down if you got far enough into it. It moved at quite a fast pace and it was so weird and suspenseful that I was completely enraptured. You're right; you should really get back to it.
