Well, I normally borrow my mum's books when I want to read AC. She owns every Poirot ever written, I think :)

I have about 2 or 3 Jane Marple Books, and about 5 Poirot ones. But I'e read much more than that. I usually borrow from my friends or library. It's awesome.

I am the proud owner of over thirty Hercule Poirot books. I have spent the last four years reading and collecting them. Before that I had finished reading and collecting all the Miss Marple books. I like HP but Miss Marple remains my all time favorite.

the only one I own is 'Hercule Poirot - The Complete Short Stories'.Any other AC books I've owned have gone to charity shops.
Everything else comes from the library. I used to buy books, decades ago, but I eventually realised what a waste of money it is. I'm currently a member of four library systems, and can get my hands on virtually any book for nothing, or at most a 30 pence reservation fee.

I own approximately 21 HP novels, the complete short story collection, all of the TV adaptations with david Suchet and the Murder On the orient express starring Albert Finney directed by Sidney Lumet. And just to top it off I am writing my own Poirot novel with all the classic characters set in Greenway house which I visited when it opened.

Hi - I'm new to this site and this is my first posting!
I must confess I don't have the foggiest notion how many HP books I have. I have read them all since I started out with a few aged green & white paperbacks that were passed on to me over 20 years ago. Largely I read from library books, so as to now many I actually own???
I've just had a quick look at those in my study (they're pretty much spread over all three floors of the house!) and I seem to have 3 green & white pbs of Death on the Nile in this room alone.
I started out unscientifically reading them at random, then re-read them all in order of publication. (Though I'm still sorting out the story order of novels + short stories ... is there a definitive list of that on the site? No, on second thoughts don't tell me! It would spoil my detective work!)
It's great to find this community & know I'm not the only fanatic out there!!

Wow! It seems everyone has so many. I have read and own all of the Miss Marple books and short stories.
For Christmas last year I received from 'Santa' all of the Poirot mysteries to date on DVD, but four more were on TV this year. I think the productions just get more lovely and gorgeous looking each time.
I like the 'order and method' in collectiong my books and have read about 40 Poirot's, and had started to collect them in paperback (owning about 10), however the publisher decided to change the style of the covers on them! This really arritated me as I do love my books to match when I'm collecting a set. I know, my husband thinks I'm a bit crazy about it too. I'm trying to read them in order as well!
Luckily for me my library has a fantastic AC section, so I'm reading the rest from the library. I may try and find the matching set of books on ebay and places like that.
I've only read one Tommy and Tuppence book, 'The Secret Adversary', but although my friend likes the T&T books the best, I am a Poirot devotee.

I also own Miss Marple's Murder at the Vicarage and Quin's The Mysterious Mr. Quin which are both excellent, too. I will buy The Hollow and Mrs. Mcginty's Dead or either The Third Girl and Hallowe'en Party next 2-3 months.
