As a great poet once said, "You believe in things that you don't understand — superstition ain't the way." Today, we're discussing the harmful effects of superstitious thinking and group thought. We'll be honest. Kari led this discussion, and it's kind of all over the place. Then, on to our book...

A local philanthropic gentleman is slashed to death in the dead of night. The killer is suspected to be an unworldly hound - a dog larger than any earthly dog, fierce and fiery in appearance. However, one detective sets sights on finding the truth and exposing the cunning killer.

The detective: Sherlock Holmes.

The book: The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
