[Star Trek]Remember when La Forge got mad at Data for solving the Sherlock Holmes mystery right away. What exactly are you supposed to do if you're running holonovel based on a book you're already read?

Like suppose I'm running a program based on the Goblet of Fire, do I have to go through the motions of the reenacting the entire story or can I just expose Barty Crouch Jr right away?

You do whatever you want, it's your free time.  

The point Geordi was getting at was that Data essentially just flipped to the end of the book a read the last chapter.  You totally can do that, but it's not the way most people enjoy reading a book.
