Wew, someone hold this guy.

I'm trying to remember a book I read half of a long time ago.
It was about a piano player who was in a European city preparing to play for a hotel, but he keeps meeting people and getting into complex relationships which prevent him from practicing. Does anyone know about this book? thank you

nothing you said made sense, it wasnt even appropriate to the conversation. it just told you how to speed read, which by itself isnt bad. bringing up how it can be overdone is a strawman because nobody was arguing againt excessiveness in any amount

I'm drunk and I'm going to order whatever books you tell me to.

>Why should you bother figuring out how far the sun is from the earth?

"But the Solar System!" I protested.

"What the deuce is it to me?" he interrupted impatiently; "you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work."

oh holmes

Sherlock Holmes!

A Study In Scarlet is where you should begin. But be warned, it is a short novel and the second half of it is mega boring. The rest of the SH is mostly short stories...And it really won't harm you to skip A Study In Scarlet, you just won't get the story of how Holmes and Watson meet.
