Like many other fans I've started re-reading all the Sherlock Holmes books. I'm currently reading the collection titled "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" and therein I found such a sweet tidbit that I have to share. It's in the story "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons":

Strange how time flies. I had close to a year "free" time and now it's already over. I've been working again since the 1st. It's too early to talk about that yet, but I'll probably make a post in a week or two ( Read more... )

13. The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss: Most people probably have seen the movie and I recall quite enjoying it as a kid.
