Oopsie!

The English auction house of Bearnes, Hampton & Littlewood is having a bit of a fit. 

An auction house is fighting for the return of a collection of treasures which belonged to Agatha Christie after mistakenly selling it inside a trunk for a thousand times less than its value.

There was a lockbox inside the trunk, and inside the lockbox were a bag containing coins, a diamond engagement ring, and a jewelled brooch.  How exciting for the buyer! 

What was your favorite Agatha Christie book or short story? 

A Literature Map...

After mentioning Robert Anton Wilson in the comments below I remembered this clever little site, Literature-Map. Type in the name of a favorite author/writer and see similar associations of writers and/or thinkers, based on style, substance, or whatnot. As truly, some of the associations seem somewhat arbitrary. As example... when I typed in Robert Anton Wilson up popped Stephen Hawking next to Carlos Castaneda, I will have to ponder that one for a while. But regardless, if one were looking for something or someone new to read this could perhaps be a useful tool for some.
