I drove my Cadillac to the library, baby, and read the, uh... last ten pages of an Agatha Christie book.
Well, sorta. I read the last ten pages. After reading the preceding 265. And Then There Were None, also printed as "Ten Little Indians." It was alright, nothing really challenging about the read. It is simply for entertainment, whodunnit mystery, nearly unsolvable until she gives up the ghost after the epilogue. And by ghost I mean that one key piece of information not supplied in any form earlier. Otherwise an astute reader would have caught it. And I do mean myself.
You see, baby, you can do anything you wanna do! Live and let live: that's the essence, the summit, the very cornerstone of my philosophy. And baby, baby you know, baby you know you gotta, you gotta be! You gotta BE what you're going to BE!

It was also called Ten Little Niggers, when it was still OK to use the n-word. Heck, my translated edition from the 80's has that title translated almost directly. (Translated "back" it's Ten Little Negroe Boys".)
