Or another husband, tough choice really.

I've read or attempted to read most of the selections mentioned on the first page and I heartily second all of them. Some of them are a bit more challenging than light reading, I am still working my way through the D'Artagnan series. I somehow missed the Raffles Omnibus so I'll be joining you with those, thanks dreams.

I'll suggest you pick some at random, read the blurb and try one or two that sound like they might be interesting. I do this regularly, sometimes with a pleasant surprise, sometimes with dismal results but always interesting.

Enjoy!

(Just to round out the whole Holmesian/Raffles thing you might enjoy R. Holmes & Co. by John Kendrick Bangs available here in LRF format or available at Project Gutenburg http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/20559 in several other formats)
