Renee M That debate about laughter keeps recurring. Is it a hint? Or just a typical debate of the day?

The labyrinthine library is such a cool invention. I wonder if it is based on anything.


Alana (alanasbooks) | 456 comments I LOVE the library! I think it was my favorite part of the whole book :)


Renee M Speaking of Sherlock (and of libraries) ...

“Let us think about this,” William said. “Five quadrangular or vaguely trapezoidal rooms, each with one window, arranged around a windowless heptagonal room to which the stairway leads. It seems elementary to me."

Elementary, indeed.

It added to my feeling of the oppressive atmosphere of the place. To condemn such a simple and joyful thing as laughter as sinful. Bah! That old monk is truly blind.

The library section was great. So very clever.
