Whole Bunch O'Stuff

BOOK LOVERS
For people who like the idea of the Book Thing but don't live near it or other libraries, I've just become aware of the Little Free Library project, in which people build little libraries as book swap places. My area's not hurting for real libraries, and there's the Thing, but I'm seriously tempted to set one up myself. You can buy 'em or build 'em.

The Little Free Library is hoping for them to spring up along places where people would be naturally able to get to them, like bike paths. It's a good idea - I can't help but think of Cracker Barrel, which rents audiobooks by the day, which can be dropped off at any other Cracker Barrel.


SHAKESPEARE FANS
The British Library is selling a CD of Shakespeare done in Original Pronunciation Alas, excerpts and not a whole production.


KNITTERS
Must Knit TV, an article on fans knitting what they see onscreen, leading off with the Watson oatmeal sweater.


SHERLOCK/SHERLOCK HOLMES NONFICTION
I'm feeling a bit lazy to find all the parts, so I'm just going to say that MX Publishing has the entire Great Sherlock Holmes Debate 2 on their Tumblr feed
The Radio Times discusses the GSH Debate

Ben Cumberbatch's list of favorite songs. Martin Freeman gets a shoutout.

As I've mentioned earlier, the newest editions of canon have introductions from the cast & crew of Sherlock. Hat tip to Shaddicted for posting Martin's and Ben's (And if anyone sees Moffat's or Gatiss', I want to read them)

I'm assuming that everyone saw the "Otters That Look Like Benedict Cumberbatch" that went mega-viral a week or so ago. [livejournal.com profile] redscharlach muses on doomed follow-ups. Some of them are funnier than the original, IMO.


SHERLOCK FIC
I don't think anything will top "It Feels Like Home When I'm With You" as a ghost story AU, but Most Ghosts Are Idiots part 1 and part 2 is an interesting take on how it might be if Sherlock was the ghost.

I'm making this one public so people can help me keep an eye on it: [livejournal.com profile] kholly's podfic post, in which Family Affairs is slowly being released in podfic form.

Post-Fall Spoilers: 13 Hours 13 hours in which Mycroft didn't know what was going on. That's 12 hours and 59 minutes too long.

The Little Free Library reminds me a bit of the concept behind the libraries at Occupy gatherings.

Or Booksfree, where you randomly drop books around.
