Just my 2 cents, but I enjoyed... Hound of the Baskervilles A Study in Scarlet The Sign of the Four The Adventure of the Speckled Band The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle The Adventure of the Crooked Man A Scandal in Bohemia (Irene Adler's only appearance) The Valley of Fear (Professor Moriarty) Th...

Read "Battle Ground" by Jim Butcher in his Dresden Files series. After reading "Peace Talks", this came as a fitting 2nd of 2-parts after the somewhat cliffhanger ending 1st part. Hoping it doesn't take years more till the next book/novel comes out. (Though i'll wait patiently ju...

I do like me some Holmes sometimes. I have a very old little book with a collection of the stories that I read every few years. --A I'll be slowly going through as much of the official Conan Doyle ouvre as I find time/motivation to do so. Wikipedia states that some of the last few aren't likely wri...

I was literally reading Sherlock Holmes: A study in scarlet online, first time ever(i maybe watched a bbc adapatation on dvd sometime 15-19 yrs ago), greatly enjoyed it and read the next Sign of Four.
I hvnt been reading much of any books recently.

C'mon sarge, join in. Would love to talk marvel/dc comics from the 80s/90s with you.

Finishing up my re-read of the Hitchhikers series, and I'm in Mostly Harmless. I always thought this one wasn't as funny as the others, and on my re-read, I still think so. It's more... Depressing? Hopeless? Yeah, i bought this in the original hardcover right around the time it was published over 2...

Still mostly lurking, but just finished Children of Earth and Sky by Guy Gavriel Kay. I feel much moved by the story more than the last book of his I read which was Under Heaven. I loved it while reading it and after (I'm an ethnic Chinese in Singapore/Malaysia; if that confuses you-Under Heaven is ...

Anyone watched the new episodes on Yahoo? I watched the first one, but the streaming on Yahoo Screen is awful, and the second episode was pretty much unwatchable when I tried. Sorry, that sucks, Murrin. I finally remembered a few weeks ago yahoo was doing community season six and checked out the fi...

Oh then my thought that Brinn was a descendant of Bannor then Branl is a descendant of Brinn doesn't make sense if Bannor's wife has been dead and gone two thousand years during LFB. Unless I remember how the Bloodguard are replaced is correct : when one dies a replacement magically appears from wes...

Mainly, I am trying to deal with the story as SRD wrote it and how I wished it would have been. In the end, it is his story, and so I have to find a way to be content with what he has done. I agree. Now that it is over, and we know how the story ends, I find myself wishing for more - just as I have...

I couldn't find this addressed anywhere else so I thought I'd bring this up here because I only thought of this during my (first and so far only) read of TLD: TC's Haruchai/Bloodguard protector/companion are first Bannor, then Brinn and finally Branl, IIRC. I had the thought that Brinn is Bannor's d...

Hi, Peter: I'm a lurker who has been here on and off, on once many years ago, then stopped for a long time and now on again as much as I can remember to jump in. Hello. :D My memory is not as it once was and I'm struggling to remember the events at the end of TOT. Did the One Tree perish then? And w...

Frederik Pohl, who was one of the last living legends of the Golden Age of science fiction from the last century, although he made his biggest impacts from the 1950s all the way to the late '70s and up till 2000s, died aged 93 on September 2nd, according to one of his granddaughters. His full biogra...

The producers D.B.Weiss and Dan Benioff have said that they're adapting the whole series as of season three so no more strict book to series correlation, season 1 to book 1 and season 2 to book 2. IIRC the reason being that it screws up the actors' availability if they skipped those actors whose cha...

Just finished reading "The Ocean at the End of the Lane". Haven't felt this way about Gaiman's work since some Sandman. Where's a thread I can write more about my reactions that don't have to be spoiler-free? Ok I'll look around on my own and see if there's a place. (In case it's not clear...

Hi, de-lurking to say I'm reading "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman. Stealing time to read it so only read up to end of (chapter) III. First thing I thought of was 'hey, now I can post in KW What SFF I'm reading right now. Love it so far but differently from previous works ...

Lurking n posting elsewhere slowly now, thanx for chiming in Vraith. is there any way to lock this thread or is that only the prerogative of admins/mods?

Go THOOOTP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Popping in to mention, last books I bought were girl who circumnavigated fairyland n it's sequel girl who fell beneath fairyland by cat valente(haven't started reading yet). Can I mention here that I loved Daniel Abraham's long quarter series 4 it's unique take on long , as in time in-world between ...

Now you're just reaching... we don't even know if the world can be made anew, let alone if another One Tree can be created, would be necessary, or even wanted. Besides, since the Guardian is an Elohim construct, there is no n...

:biggrin: i actually know this from lurking here n other places like westeros.org forum but i wasnt thinking/just wanted to give it a try. Appreciate the effort SD n hope the lack of response from others isnt a sign of being ignored/taking ur ball home becos i didnt play with you. Sorry if the metap...
