Jazzmoose Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Clarke isn't particularly depressing. (And then there's P.G. Wodehouse.) Yes, and I believe it was someone from England who came up with my all time favorite television line, "Golf's not very popular around here".

jazzbo Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) I had started this and then set it aside as it seemed to heavy in several senses to take with me on my 3500 cycle trip. . . . I have resumed readking this and must say tis pretty fascinating and well done. Temple is a really good historian, this is no "Chariots of the Gods" stuff. . . .

Matthew Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 The Sign of the Four. It's my favorite Sherlock Holmes novel. Is the BBC TV movie with Jeremy Brett any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
