Sherlock Is the New Sexy
Michael Chabon and Laurie King will be at the Main Library on Wednesday to discuss the impact of super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes on their work.

It was difficult because, as the London Evening Standard says, "Was there ever such a brooding, handsome and strangely sexy Sherlock Holmes as this...?" But my eyes kept glancing at the book on my nightstand and I couldn't resist its siren call any longer. I had to know what was going to happen to the equally handsome and brooding Joe Kavalier...
