 So I finished reading the new books Dad bought for the family library and now I'm bored...  Dad's agreed to let me buy more but Mom made him promise I have to get some... novels. What's wrong with enjoying reading about science and magic anyway?

Yeah... So could anyone suggest me some books that might be fun to read?

Not yet, I've heard the name before - what's it about?

Only the best consulting detective ever!

... What's a consulting detective?

[rule_britannia]

[More blotches]

He's the person the police go to when they can't solve a case themselves.

[greenmoonrising]

So like a private detective?

[rule_britannia]

Kind of! But he's better!

[greenmoonrising]

Is he some sort of elite detective then?

[rule_britannia]

Yes, I suppose he's something like that.

[greenmoonrising]

Sounds good - I'll look for the books when I'm out. Who's the author?

[rule_britannia]

Arthur Conan Doyle.

[greenmoonrising]

... Heh, Arthur huh?

[rule_britannia]

Yes.

[greenmoonrising]

Sure you're not being biased for authors who have the same name as you...? ;)

[rule_britannia]

That's just ludicrous.

I'd never limit myself like that.
