Sir Arthur Conan Doyle apparently wrote it around 1904 to help raise funds for a new bridge. \u201cIt is believed the story\u2014about Holmes deducing Watson is going on a trip to Selkirk\u2014is the first unseen Holmes story by Doyle since the last was published over eighty years ago.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Why is <em>To Kill a Mockingbird <\/em>so beloved? Probably just because everyone was forced to read it growing up\u2014in reality, it\u2019s a \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/thesmartset.com\/article\/article02161501.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">white-trash gothic<\/a>\u201d that infantilizes blacks and demonizes poor whites: \u201cThe central struggle in <em>To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em> involves class, not race. The book\u2019s theme is the class war within the white South between the noble gentry and the depraved poor. In a clever twist, thanks to the community\u2019s racism the white underclass villain wins in court, but the gentry hero enjoys revenge at the end, thanks to a killing that is covered up by the local sheriff.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>While we\u2019re at it, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2015\/02\/19\/we-re-still-getting-huck-finn-wrong.html\" target=\"_blank\">we\u2019ve made a mess of <em>Huck Finn<\/em>, too<\/a>: \u201cWe persistently misread Twain\u2019s messages on race and children for a simple reason: Americans still subscribe to many of the same myths and prejudices as their nineteenth-century ancestors. Twain\u2019s novel is not a hymn to the carefree pleasures of a rustic childhood; it\u2019s a barbed critique of precisely the sort of standardized education that has now led to the book\u2019s adoption in countless classrooms \u2026 Common readings of the book are now trapped in the same sanctimonious clich\u00e9s that Twain both punctured and perpetuated.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/blogs\/prospero\/2015\/02\/language-change?fsrc=scn\/tw_ec\/slowly_does_it\" target=\"_blank\">How quickly is our spoken language changing<\/a>, and how many of those changes should be reflected in print? \u201cThere is a natural problem, found the world over: how quickly to allow writing to adapt to changes in the spoken language? If spelling were adapted to pronunciation, the result would be a radical and destabilizing break with centuries of tradition \u2026 English-speakers are stuck with an archaic and anarchic system. Liberties with grammar\u2014making the written language look like the spoken one\u2014should be few and cautious. Giving the written language a little room to change, but not too much, is the only way to enjoy the best of both stability and vitality.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2015\/02\/king-david\/385596\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ta-Nehisi Coates remembers David Carr<\/a>, who was his boss at the <em>Washington City Paper<\/em>: \u201cDavid\u2014recovering crack addict, recovering alcoholic, ex-cocaine dealer, lymphoma survivor, beautiful writer, gorgeous human\u2014knew something about how a life of fucking up burrows itself into the bones of knuckleheads, and it changes there, transmutes into an abiding shame, a gnawing fear which likely dogs the reformed knucklehead right into the grave.
