Holmes y el caso Oberon
—Asesinato, querido Watson. Perplejo, Watson recorrió la escena del supuesto crimen. En un sillón, un cuerpo reclinado, con una copa de sherry en la mano izquierda, y sobre las rodillas, su última lectura: Papeles póstumos del club Pickwick, de Dickens.https://biografiasynovelas.wordpress.com/2026/10/15/holmes-y-el-caso-oberon/

Around 10 years ago, a Geoffrey Chaucer parody account on ye olde Twitter (Chaucer Doth Tweet) promoted “Whan That Aprille Day” on April 1st (but it perhaps should be 17th?)
“On the first daye of Aprille, lat us make tyme to take joye yn alle langages that are yclept ‘old,’ or ‘middel,’ or ‘auncient,’ or ‘archaic,’ or, alas, even ‘dead.’ ...
Yn thys celebracioun we shal reade of oold bokes yn sondrye oold tonges. We shal singe olde songes. We shal playe olde playes. Eny oold tonge will do, and eny maner of readinge. All are welcome. We shal make merrye yn the magical dreamscape of 'social media,' and eke, yf ye kan do yt, yn the 'real worlde' too. ... ”

While I tend to read more recent fiction that deals with the world we live in, it's always important to know where we came from. These are some great reference texts.

From the recent boxes, the only English-language fiction there-in. It's unlikely their previous owner celebrated 4/20 veggies. Mediæval poetry & fiction, a space-age plague, & a futuristic dystopia. Classics, all!
