potentialities

Oh, you really should. I reread it every winter, and occasionally more often than that. It seems an appropriate book for that time of year.

Also, since you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, I'm going to rec you something else. I just picked up a book at the library called 'Sherlock Holmes: The Hidden Years', a collection of short stories about the time between Holmes's disappearance at the Reichenbach Falls and his miraculous reappearance in London. I've read the first four already, and there is one story that has made it worth reading, called "Water from the Moon" by Carolyn Wheat. I hope the rest of it is also good. I've liked it a lot more than I like a lot of other non-canon Holmes material.

Oh, and it's edited by Michael Kurland, so you know who to look it up under, if you decide to check it out.
