I have been a fan of Agatha Christie for as far back as I can remember. I collect every book and movie of her's I can find. Now it's just a question of where to put them all. So, naturally I had to create a page just for her.

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about...It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.
Agatha Christie, An Autobiography, 1977
"I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable ... but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."
- Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie, An Autobiography, 1977
