XIX. Read the text and discuss the following.

J.B. Priestley, a well-known British author, explaining why he reads detective stories said: "When you come to the end of a crime novel, at least something in this huge (огромный) chaotic [kei’otik] world has been set­tled."

Reading Detective Stories in Bed

I find this delightful (восхитительный) at home, and even more de­lightful when I am away from home. But why detective stories? Why not some good literature? Because, with a few happy exceptions, good litera­ture, which excites the mind, will not do (не подойдет). In my view we should read it away from the bedroom. But why not some dull stuff — memoirs, works about travel? Here I can speak only for myself. If my bedtime book is too dull then I begin to think about my own work and then sleep does not come for hours. No, the detective story is the thing. Be­cause what we want or at least what I want late at night — is a tale that is in its own way a picture of life but yet has an entertaining puzzle (загадка) element in it. And the detective story offers me just this. (From "Priestley’s Companion")

1. Do you enjoy reading detective stories? 2. When do you read them —on holiday, on your way to and from the University or in bed? 3. Can you often guess "who’s done it?", as they say? 4. Why do you read them? Do you read them to kill time? 5. Give your arguments for and against reading detective stories? 6. Do you agree with Priestley that the bedroom is not the place for good literature? 7. Can detective stories be good literature? 8. Do you know any books of this kind?
