While I've been here, I have had the chance to read several books that I might otherwise not have chosen. I just finished the classic "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was a terrific read and I plan to go to the bookstore tomorrow to pick up another adventure of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. While in London I passed Baker Street several times, but never got the chance to visit the Sherlock Holmes museum.
I have also read "The Last Great Dance" by Sandra Gulland. It is a historical fiction about Josephine Bonaparte. I loved this book. It is a compilation of diary entries from Napoleons wife during their time together and after their divorce. I finished the book while in France, which was perfect timing. It was quite amusing to walk around Paris and imagine what life must have been like in the city while Josephine was alive. I'm sure there weren't men selling miniature Eiffel Towers everywhere!
