A few re-reads to round out the year (though I had not previously read the Christie and the Conan Doyles). King Solomon’s Mines in particular was a childhood favourite, and it was interesting to see whether it held up (it does, and even the racial thing is pretty decent for 1885. The biggest case of values dissonance is probably the elephant hunting).
