#truecrime is not my genre, but I have read Michael Crichton's The Great Train Robbery about... a great train robbery in 1855 in England. They made a movie with Sean Connery, that's why his face is on the cover.

Had to stop and take a picture of this bookish art installation at the LAX airport. Spotted on the long walk from the plane through customs.

I like trains, but I don't need to see them from orbit 🚂☢😳

(Michael Crichton tended to suffer from #uglybookcovers syndrome anyway)

Marchpane Yeah, a lot of thought went into this design (clipart > train) 8y

I dunno... parkour and horseback riding? Sherlock isn't much of a sports fan - his favorite is "shot put some treats in my mouth, Daddy" #funphotofriday #thebookishferrets #petsofLitsy
