I just read a summary of The Speckled Band...it doesn't really sound scary at all to me. 😛
@Hobbi: Also, I just found out that The Blue Carbuncle was published in 1892. Little Women takes place during the Civil War. The play the girls did in Troupers last year would be impossible. 😛
@Berry: It's scary but it's not. And at that time, my bedroom was set up in such a way that the events of The Speckled Band could have worked but for one feature (and the fact that I had no reason to think anyone would try to kill me, least of all in that way).
Oh that does sound creepy. O.O I guess the story doesn't sound scary to me because I have, like, no fear of snakes. 😛 Now if the "swamp adder" was replaced with a tarantula....O.O
I read The Speckled Band. .. it didn't seem that scary to me. o.O I think it had to do with that I already knew how the story went, because I've listened to some of the stories on audio before. 😛
On that note, I stole my sister's Sherlock Holmes book and have been reading it lately. 
Thank you, Hobbit!
Which one is that? Collected?
Rrrm, I'm not really sure, actually. I think it is? 😕 I'll figure it out later, because right now it's at the bottom of one of my bags. o.o
Thank you, Hobbit!
*happy sigh* I love the Sherlock Holmes stories. My sister snitched the book of them that I've been reading, but I guess that's sort of a good thing, since it was distracting me from my writing. 😆
What writest thou?
🙂 My NaNo novel and a couple fanfictions.
Just reread or re-glimpsed Fern-Seed and Elephants.
If you've been following the Last Post thread, then you already know what I'm reading: LOTR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right now I'm on TTT. 😀 Finished chapter 4...I think? The one about Treebeard.
Recently finished rereading The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma. Gosh, I love those books.
You read quickly, JG!
I love that chapter.
Yeah, Hans Georg, I do.
Now, I'm at the part where Gollum is about to take them into Mordor "the other way," (Cirith Ungol, or something like that, I think) and I wanna smack Frodo and yell at him not to listen to Gollum. 😉
Yes, Cirith Ungol, Jaygee. 🙂
