I tried to reread The Mysterious Affair at Styles and couldn't stand it for Hastings' attitude towards Poirot. He is quite consistently doubting in most of his appearances, I find it quite bothersome.

I've been listening to the Christie BBC Radio plays on my way to/from work, it's been fun.

PS: Let me know if you want to bounce ideas for the HTML parser? I know I kind of messed it up before, but I did learn a lot about the issues involved and can probably at least discuss it.
