Hello and welcome to The Library and is in the New York Public Library's podcast about books, culture, and what to read next.

My name is Frank.

And I'm Rhonda.

Yes, you are. And here we are to discuss.

What are we here to discuss, babe?

And then there were none by Agatha Christie.

Which is part of the 125 books we love list that the New York Library has put out celebrating 125 years of the New York Public Library.

And this book was recommended to us by our producer.

So I was like, and then there were none by Agatha Christie.

I've seen that book on the shelf for years.

It's almost always on a summer reading list for high schoolers.

I feel like I'm familiar with it.

I talk about this later, but I definitely saw the 1945 movie version of it when I was a young teen on TV and had some vague memories of that,

which added to my reading of it, but I didn't know much about it.

And I thought, like a lot of classics, I feel like I know it.

But I did not know it. You didn't know. I was just in a nutshell. I had a ball

with this book, frankly, and frankly, and of course there are some interesting, very interesting

things we'll talk about that are interesting pointed word um but overall as a as a

it was like i kept saying in the podcast i was looking for and not landing on a fun book that i kept

thinking should be something comedy and j, but I realized when I was reading

it, it was like, I was just having fun and appreciating certain things about it that we can get

into. So the producer doesn't feel like she did something terribly wrong. I loved it in a nutshell.
