The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
(recently published book, taking it's title from
Silver Blaze, by Doyle:
"Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
"To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
"The dog did nothing in the night-time."
"That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.)
Haha, I did not know that it took its name from Sherlock Holmes, Setanta. Have you read that book? I've heard it hyped for the last four months, but have not bought it. If so, did you enjoy it?
A Night to Remember
(No, DetR, i've not read it, although i heard the author interviewed on NPR--National Public Radio. I try not to form opinions on whether or not i'd buy a book, because i've impoverished myself in the past buying books that i want. These days, i resign myself to re-reading the books of mine which haven't grown legs, or borrowing books. I can't walk into a bookstore without spending nearly ever penny in my pocket.)
