Quotes

I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes

...the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes

The ideal reasoner,... would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes

...a man should keep his little brain-attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber-room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

...it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

I had... come to an entirely erroneous conclusion which shows, my dear Watson, how dangerous it always is to reason from insufficient data.

It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
