I'm currently zapping back and forth between "The adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "Arsène Lupin" and "King Solomon's Mines". Sherlock is always fine; Lupin was quite a good surprise to me, with its top narration, setting and characterization (Lupin is quite unlike Sherlock, plus is in the other side of the fence); Allan Quatermain's adventure is very anachronistic and shockful of dumb imperialist and racist remarks, but still a gripping read.
