The ones I did not like very much OR I know I am not going to read a second time have all gone.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-7389168963298052182013-09-21T22:41:18.579+02:002013-09-21T22:41:18.579+02:00From what i gather, Twain thought the Sherlock Hol...From what i gather, Twain thought the Sherlock Holmes thing was silly, and lampooned it a couple of times.

Both are free on ‘FreeBooks’. I’ve not heard of this detective story, perhaps I’ll look for a it in a little while.<br />Twain was an excellent writer and I thoroughly enjoyed some of his more literary efforts.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-8548258880501531302013-09-21T14:40:12.765+02:002013-09-21T14:40:12.765+02:00It's an odd and small point but it has never e...It's an odd and small point but it has never even occurred to me to delete a book from my Kindle one it's been read.
