yep, quite surprising -- even made me look it up and learn more, something you usually don't do with physical books from the lazy couch. Score for e-books!

Solid story development, precise analytical reasoning by Sherlock and wonderful narrator and story-teller that Mr. Watson too.

I'll get a break from Sherlock for now but am sure to return for his many other adventures.

The Mormons arrived in Britain at the very beginning of the reign of Queen Victoria, so it is likely that Doyle would have read about the Church and the Danites. A Study in Scarlet was first published in 1887, the very same year that Buffalo Bill took his Wild West Show to Britain, in celebration of the Jubilee year of Queen Victoria.

I'm not completely sure what to read next. It's a close call between The Lies of Locke Lamora (Scott Lynch) and Avempartha (Michael J. Sullivan).
About the spoiler. JKR did an interview after DH and she mentioned:
Spoiler:
Harry and Ron became aurors and re-defined the ministry (or something like that). She also mentioned stuff about other characters, but I can't remember much. I think this kind of stuff will be in the encyclopedia, at least I hope it is.


I am reading Across the Universe right now.

Started Objectivity by Lorraine Daston, which I ordered from Amazon to be delivered at my sister's. Back to reading too many books at the same time.

I thought something like that. I was with 4 or 5 huge Firefly fans at the moment, so saying it out loud would have resulted in me being thrown from the party. I might have rolled my eyes. A little

I didn't like it either. My brother made me watch a couple of episodes, but I gave up on it fairly quickly.

EDIT: look what I did: I just wasted my 500th post on Firefly

I think this was the interview. I had read it, but I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. Thanks!

The definite "WOW" book is the Hunger Games trilogy.

I would pass on the Firefly comics though. It's just not the same.

Besides Zack Whedon destroyed all that is "shiny" with his Shepherd Book tale.

And I am definitely sorry to hear all the negativity regarding Firefly here, I guess not everyone can understand the allure of THE SINGLE GREATEST CREATION OF HUMANKIND

well now back to the grind...
