Read: I've been picking up Golden Age Locked Room Mysteries occasionally and have the time to read an individual story. I'd like to get further into it this weekend because some of the stories are actually quite long.
From the jacket:
For devotees of the Golden Age mystery, the impossible crime story represents the period's purest form: it presents the reader with a baffling scenario (a corpse discovered in a windowless room locked from the inside, perhaps), lays out a set of increasingly confounding clues, and swiftly delivers an ingenious and satisfying solution. During the years between the two world wars, the best writers in the genre strove to outdo one another with such unfathomable crime scenes and brilliant explanations, and the puzzling and clever tales they produced in those brief decades remain unmatched to this day.
Do: There may be a day trip and bookstore visit on the agenda.
Watch: I don't think I'll have a lot of watch time this weekend, but I just realized I never finished watching the last season of Only Murders in the Building. Something to look forward to!
(If you read last weekend's Friday Forecast, you'll notice that the Do and Watch are exactly the same. Let's see how I do.)
