Indeed, "my Dear Watson." Yes, indeed.

They first referenced Alice in Wonderland back in the original series with the "shore leave" episode, and of course Sherlock Holmes was referenced several times on TNG by Data. I understand they might have had more such episodes save for some contract problems with the Doyle estates. And there were the Dixon Hill episodes which were a fictionalized version of hard boiled detective fiction (such as Phillip Marlowe and Sam Spade). Books have always featured (even if just indirectly) in the Star Trek franchise.
