Yes, I am looking forward to revisiting Holmes and Watson. It must be about 50 years since I first read the books, I realise. (I was quite young at the time!)

The 1st Sherlock Holmes I ever read was "The Hound of The Baskervilles." I had gotten it via one of those book flyers that they gave out to kids at school when I was in grade school. That was some 30 odd yrs ago at least. I remember I took it with me that summer when I went to stay with my paternal grandmother for a week or so.

My first time reading of Sherlock Holmes stories was from a collection bound as The Complete Sherlock Holmes as I recall. A Study In Scarlet was indeed the first story in the book, and that had me hooked. Not until I had read the complete collection did I consider any other reading. This was over 45 years ago. The Complete Sherlock Holmes did not include The Hound of The Baskervilles. I did not read that for the first time until some time later, probably a few years. I have read most of the stories a number of times, the last time being just a few years ago when I found them in ebook form here.

This is my first time reading A Study in Scarlet and it was the first story in The Complete Sherlock Holmes: with an introduction from Robert Ryan - Simon and Schuster Digital Sales. I picked it up for free when it was offered on Amazon in December.
I was a bit confused when the middle part started and kept trying to go forward and back to see what happened. Then I figured it out. I also downloaded and listened to the LibriVox version Read by Bob Neufeld afterwards. I am glad this was chosen. |

He, he, I guessed right then about Holmes. Have read it and liked it. Not enough wifi/ time for another two weeks to participate in the discussions though.
( I'm glad it wasn't Orwell as I read that at school some lots of years ago..) |
