The Coming of the Fairies | Arthur Conan Doyle

As a #sherlocked fanatic, I revere the original canon by C-Doyle. His belief and essay on fairies? #notsomuch #alittlecraycray

Bookwomble Doyle was sensible in not grafting his spiritualist beliefs onto the logical and materialist Holmes ("No ghosts need apply."), but his Professor Challenger stories did become a platform for them. The tagged biography is an interesting one in explaining how Doyle, the medical man of science, became an uncritical believer in the spirit world. 11mo

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read this, but I love the movie about it (FairyTale). I also read a rather interesting novel: 11mo

This was a brilliantly written book. Much of the history was easy to read. However, it was not a book for me. I struggled through much of the the POW camp portion. I'm glad I tried and completed the #MMDchallenge of trying a genre you avoid. #notsomuch #2017christyread #nonfiction

I pushed through to the end and ... I still don't get it. It was different kind of read for me. It reminds me of At-swim-two-birds by Flann O'Brien. #notsomuch

The predictably rational writing of Predictably Irrational. An interesting book in and of itself, but unfortunately I didn't learn anything new.
