I’m a Sherlock Holmes fan!
I love to read the books, even when I already know the resolution of the cases. My favorite one is The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Bryko: Oh yeah, the Sherlock Holmes stories are awesome! I don’t remember what my favorite was (cause I haven’t read it in so long) but I think it was the very last one. I should go back and read them again sometime. 
Another favorite Sherlock Holmes’ story of mine is The Valley of Terror, even if it’s kind of a reworking of A Study in Scarlet.
Quicker 
. But really I want to read all those books. I enjoyed reading the first two a ton. And this was before the movies came out so it was all my imagination.
Well, it may not really be quicker. After all, you had to wait ten years to watch all movies. But you can read all seven books in about a week.
SOA-True but If I really try I could deciate a whole day off to watching the five films (not including Deathly hallows part 2) in one day about 12 and half hours of entertaiment!
Spirit- I’ve been wanting to read Sherlock Holmes books for a while!
I want to read them too! I saw the end of the new movie and now I want to read them. I know its not the same thing but I like mysterous books so…
I went to Boarders and got some discounted books today.
*The Intimate Lives of the Founding Fathers
This book is about 6 of the US Founding Fathers and their relationships with woman in their lives. From mothers, daughters, wives, and mistresses
*Civil War Wives
The Lives & Times of Angelina Weld (wife of an abolitionist), Varina Davis (wife of the Confederate president), & Julia Dent Grant (Wife of Union General Grant).
*You Can Run But You Can’t Hide
The autobiography of bountyhunter Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman.
Finished the Persian epic Shahnameh. One of the greatest reads I’ve ever had in my life. The prose is beautiful and it evokes the glamour and wonders of that civilization.
Now I’m going to go grab a copy of the Epic of Gilgamesh and give it a read. For less mythological reading I think Twenty-thousand leagues under the sea will be nice. If not, I have a collection of Erich Maria Remarque books I can go through.
That’s one of my favorite books!
^ That’s one of Verne’s greatest. And I’m a very big fan of him. I’ve read over thirty of his works.
I’m reading something from David Henry Hwang called FOB.
I decided to reread all the HP books, just for fun. I’m about 2/3 of the way through Sorcerer’s Stone.
That’s a good idea!
Today I bought two books To Kill A Mockingbird and California: A History.
Not first time, is it?
I’m on page 310 in Crime and Punishment, and it’s actually not that bad! I might even like it. I went on a reading spree yesterday so that I don’t have to worry about it the last few weeks of summer, and it got really good. I love the [spoil]Razumikhin/Dunya thing[/spoil]. I swear, they better get married. I’ve been calling it forever now, so they better! That’s my favorite portion of it, because I can’t tell if I like Raskolnikov or not. He can be so nice, and giving, but then he murders that old woman and I don’t know!
I just finished The Wisdome of Pixar. Next I’m going to try to finish The Fellowship of the Ring.
I have that book! But I have not read it yet.
I would highly recommend it. It’s a great look at the values portrayed in the Pixar movies from a Biblical/Christian perspective.
