today's thrift finds. love how the rathbone-bruce vhs cover has holmes staring lovingly at watson. as it should be. also nabbed the first two books in the nero wolfe series, written by renowned author rex stout. renowned to me, of course, for being the guy who wrote the 'watson was a woman and married to holmes' article

#all this for four buckaroos what a deal #read the 'watson was a woman' article to my mother on the ride home and she was genuinely convinced #god forbid a man faint after seeing his best friend who had been dead for three years smh #sherlock holmes #john watson #johnlock #nero wolfe #rex stout #basil rathbone #nigel bruce #rathbone holmes #my collections

Famous Detectives (and their companions) + Favorite Colors

Sherlock Holmes: would never clutter up his brain attic with things like “favorite colors.”

Dr. Watson: distinguished Victorian gentlemen don’t engage in such childish things as favorite colors.

Poirot: prefers everything to be the proper color they’re supposed to be, thank you very much.

Hastings: probably hasn’t ever thought about it, or at least hasn’t since he was a young child. See: Dr. Watson.

Archie Goodwin: doesn’t really feel strongly about any color but does have very strong opinions on what colors look good on different women.

Nero Wolfe: it’s yellow :)

Mycroft and Wolfe share a very similar type of aggressively avoidant behavior and adherence to a strict schedule, but I feel like their motivations are different. And I really do say feel, because there's no explanation for either. But with Mycroft it genuinely seems like that's where he's comfortable. Beyond being introverted, he's probably been the most mature person in every room since the age of like eight, so he likely prefers not to have that pressure. But for Wolfe, I really feel like Something Happened, I just don't know what.

FER-DE-LANCE by Rex Stout. (New York: Pocket, [1933])

FER-DE-LANCE by Rex Stout. (New York: Farrar & Rinehart, 1933) Nero Wolfe.

Fer-de-Lance is the first Nero Wolfe detective novel written by Rex Stout, published in 1934 by Farrar & Rinehart, Inc. The novel appeared in abridged form in The American Magazine (November 1934) under the title "Point of Death". The novel was adapted for the 1936 film Meet Nero Wolfe, and it was named after a venomous snake with the same name. In his seminal 1941 work, Murder for Pleasure, crime fiction historian Howard Haycraft included Fer-de-Lance in his definitive list of the most influential works of mystery fiction. — Wikipedia
