Friday Reads & Links - 11/21/2014

I've been listening to "The Murder Room: The Heirs of Sherlock Holmes Gather to Solve the World's Most Perplexing Cold Cases" by Michael Capuzzo, narrated by Adam Grupper. I'm still working through "The Best American Nonrequired Reading of 2014" on ebook, and about to start "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay" by Michael Chabon for DC book club.
