Does it get any better?

I'm going old school with Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None.

Also delighted that I got notified just now that I finally scored a copy of James by Percival Everett from the library. I only thought I'd be on the wait list forever. Probably my most anticipated book of the year. I'd start it now, but Dame Agatha got to me first.
