5. _Kim_ by Rudyard Kipling

Read a Holmes pastiche recently, _Sherlock Holmes: The Missing Years_ by Jamyang Norbu, in which Holmes hooks up with characters from _Kim_ in India and Tibet between his "death" at Reichenbach and return in "The Empty House."

Last time I read _Kim_ was in a "Classics Illustrated" edition (remember them?) 45+ years ago, so I figured maybe I should read the actual book.
