[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm about to start I who have never known Men, which has been mentioned a bunch these past few months.  It's about a group of women kept prisoner for a long time underground.  If not described here I doubt I would have picked it up myself, so fingers crossed.

I love the mystery series Ernest Cunningham by Benjamin Stevenson. Just got the 4th book - Everyone in this Bank is a Thief - so hoping it's as good as the others.

Last month I read on a whim An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good which is a physically small book with a charming cover and inside is a diabolical old lady sociopath murderer.  So I grabbed the next one - An Elderly Lady Must Not be Crossed.

And finally - heavy on mysteries, I've decided to read all the Poirot mysteries in order and I'm up to #3 - Poirot Investigates.

I feel like i need something more literary this month, to cut through all the mysteries, but I'm still in the 200s on hold for Theo of Golden, and in the 300s for Yesteryear.  [/quote]

I finished I who have Never Known Men and I really do tihnk it's the weirdest book I've read in a long time.  (I posted on the I who have never known men post, so double posting my thoughts here).  One thing I never see mentioned is that the main character defines herself - in the title of the book and at least two places, if not more in the text, as never knowing men.  It's like the entire book is about the Male Gaze.  I'm perplexed by the book.

I also finished Poirot Investigates, which is a collection of (very good) short stories, most of which were adapted for the Poirot TV series.  [/quote]
