Watson tells us it was 1889 at the story's start -- when he was at home, writing at his leisure. The confusion comes when he's discussing weekday and date in the drug den with an opium addict, so his "Friday, June 19th" becomes less reliable than his "June, '89." Many a chronologist tends to go with that year over others for similar reasons.<br /><br />Sometimes Watson makes you decide which Watson you trust more.Sherlock Peoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896656391037436805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-76840723413694156662015-08-20T07:39:37.446-05:002015-08-20T07:39:37.446-05:00Hey, sorry for the off-topic post, but I've be...Hey, sorry for the off-topic post, but I've been looking everywhere for a way to send you a message, Brad: just a quick note on your chronology. You have "Man With the Twisted Lip" as happening in 1889 based on an erroneous date of "Friday, June 21." I just happened to be rereading the story, and Watson actually states the date as Friday, June 19, which would make 1885 far more likely.Topcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206151869845385969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-77188459595091436132015-08-18T04:10:12.556-05:002015-08-18T04:10:12.556-05:00I read the Death Note graphic novel, so I'll b...I read the Death Note graphic novel, so I'll be interested in what you think. I thought it was a real mind-bender of a story.<br /><br />The fellows behind it also did a series called "Bakuman," which tells the story of two high schoolers who team up to write manga. This is part of a genre that tells a "Rocky"-type story set in a particular profession, with a dollop of insider information to make you feel you're inside the subculture. I bought the 20-volume series and have read it several times.<br />Bill Peschelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257587479467531187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-67862131364121265672015-08-18T01:55:21.022-05:002015-08-18T01:55:21.022-05:00I actually started reading this manga pretty recen...I actually started reading this manga pretty recently, and I was delighted to find a Sherlock and Watson in it. :DMacBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084082305822215544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-55613363148069888142015-08-18T01:44:47.307-05:002015-08-18T01:44:47.307-05:00Rumor is that CBS is already planning an American ...Rumor is that CBS is already planning an American version of Death Note titled "Elementary School Notebook", with L being voiced by Ryan Gosling and Watari being voiced by Rachel McAdams.
