Funny you say that, because (possible/minor/maybe/not really spoilers)
[spoiler]When four people are left, that's when it gets easy to get rid of some people as possible murder suspects.[/spoiler]

But ATTWN was a fun read. I remember getting through it in one sitting. XD

(Incidentally, I was reading it for school)

Also, concerning closed rooms...

What I got from Umineko (I'm not too well-versed in murder mysteries myself, so yeah) is that closed rooms are generally illusions. Either someone is faking their death, the killer is hiding inside the room, or its status as a closed room was false from the get-go.

That's pretty much what I got from Umineko as well, but I wanted to see if there were any other case of closed rooms that I was not familiar with.

Truth be told, now that I'm thinking I'm not going to get the story that I long for... my mind has started wondering "what if I wrote it myself?" .....

I'm not sure how I would do with the mystery/crime genre.

As for ATTWN and one sitting - I keep picking it up and people keep calling me away from it. I've had no silent reading time. <_< It's depressing. But then again, I have been busy with tests.

ATTWN was such a fun book to read. XD I had to reach it for 7th grade.

what the hell... why wasn't I given fun books to read?

Seventh grade... I think that's when I had to read Tuck Everlasting, I believe.

SO MAXINE

WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE CULPRIT

7th grade... I cannot recall a single book I had to read for the 7th grade, but this is because I seem to have forgotten most of the 7th grade. o__o who was my 7th grade English teacher? I absolutely cannot remember.

6th grade we read the Westing Game and tried to "figure it out" as we read it. You might want to investigate that one, Maxine.

Geez, I really can't remember most of middle school. I'm going blank on required readings in the 9th grade, too. I remember 8th grade English vividly, but that's because that teacher was awesome and taught me more about writing than any other teacher before or, really, since. She had "required writing" where at the end of each week we had to turn in X many pages of writing. She didn't care what kind of writing, it could be anything from "I'm sitting here in class and I have to write something today I ate pancakes for breakfast" to, what I started doing, which was writing a novel. <3 Oh, Mrs Cohlmia. You get a dedication line on my first published work.

Oh, and still reading that Flights of Fancy book. It's still really cool.

7th grade we actually had English for two hours. We didn't read any novels, but we read pretty much everything out of the textbook. I remember the Smallest Dragonboy, some racism stuff, a french story about a wife wanting a necklace, and a story where two friends meet after 20 years or something, but one has become a wanted criminal, and the other is a cop. But most of the other stuff must have been pretty forgettable.

8th grade I can only remember the Diary of Anne Frank, Flowers for Algernon, and There Will Come Soft Rains.

This was definitely all before I would write creatively, though. I didn't write a single story in all of junior high, I think. It wasn't really encouraged as much. And I still drew things like a child. If I had taken some sort of art or writing class at that age, I'd be in a different place in life.
