Well? Who else is a fan? I'm not far from obsessed. I sort of go into Holmes withdrawal whenever I finish a book. I must have read the series at least four times by now!

I am, as well, only recently been able to read them, as I never had access before, but now that I have a kindle, I've been reading all of the stories, and I am almost finished (sadly, as I sort of wish they would go on forever!) absolute works of literary genius! Masterpieces of captivating stories, just filled with entertainment and thrills. I am obsessed! I must also add that Jeremy Brett's Sherlock is so accurate to the stories that I absolutely prefer his adaptation over any others I've seen.

Recently read "Sherlock Holmes: the Valley of Fear" by Sir Aurthor Conan Doyle. My library didn't have it, but I picked it up from Amazon. I enjoyed it a lot. It was really different. Nearly the whole book is told in a character's flashback of events, so that was definitely an odd one for Doyle. There are a few "Sherlock" moments in the book that were absolutely hilarious. My favorite scenes were when Sherlock gives a brief, sarcastic, excited monologue on how a loving wife should react upon learning her husband has died, as well as a moment where Sherlock bursts into Watson's room like a crazy man in the middle of the night and Watson shrugs him off in the funniest way. Good stuff. I'd recommend picking it up.

Yes, if you haven't already, you should read the rest. They're my favourite books that I've ever read. Sorry, Harry Potter.
