"One wrong move and your Geography" and "the people united, will never be ignited" tickled me  | |

Posted: 2/20/2008 3:03:12 AM | Pillars Of Creation by Terry Goodkind - I've already read all the others in this series but I somehow missed this one, so reading it now.
Might have to be really sad, get the whole series out and start again at the beginning after I've finished this one.
Have the new Terry Pratchett in the pending pile by my bed (along with half a dozen other good books).
Getting into Garth Nix now too - also have the first five of the Mr Monday series to start too.
I think I need to get out more................... | |

Does a programming book count?
What about MSDN, does that count? I don't really have time to read anything else. Its very interesting but the plot's a bit laboured. | |

Posted: 3/5/2008 8:12:22 PM | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "Sherlock Holmes -The Hound of the Baskervilles " Ti's sooo good
****ing A , excuse the bad expletive .
Conan Doyle also uses the character of Dr. Watson as a stand-in for us, Holmes' credulous readership, who connect with Watson both by virtue of his narration and to his common sense analysis of the situation. Holmes will always be able to trump Watson and us, providing more insight, analysis, and cleverness. Holmes always has an insider's edge. Conan Doyle often gives Holmes the advantage, because he provides him with more information than we get. When Holmes determines the size and breed of Mortimer's dog, for example, it is because he sees the animal outside the window. Later, when wrapping up the case, Holmes benefits from some secret research he has done on the side. Holmes is supposed to beat us to the punch in every instance; we are all supposed to have the same puzzle pieces, but only Holmes can fit them together. Conan Doyle cheats sometimes, letting Holmes look brilliant when in fact he is just better informed. Giving Holmes' privileged information, however, goes toward establishing the depth of Holmes' character. Holmes rub it in to Watson and us when he comes up with the correct conclusions, only to reveal that he has knowledge of the most obvious of clues. For example, he had seen the dog or hound outside of the office, which is how he knew its breed. Also, he had seen Watson in the silver coffee service, which is why he knew Watson was inspecting the cane, even though he was not facing him. Holmes is able to play these common observations off as the most brilliant of insights or even as part of a supernatural ability, showing that he is also conceited and egotistical.
Conan was so before his time . | |

Anyone who reads MSDN for fun needs help - and that's coming from me!
Can't decide if I should be flattered or insulted. | |
