Arthur Conan Doyle, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

[Macwolf01 [Elise]]

Hi my name is Elise, I grew up struggling to read, with time I have found a love of reading a wide variety of genres ... I appropriated a leather bound copy of Sherlock Holmes from my Dad when I was 15 and have loved mystery, crime and thrillers ever since (Dad let me keep the books which I still have).

Hi Elise, welcome!
I am glad you have overcome your difficulties. Who better than ACD and Sherlock Holmes... wonderful stories, aren't they?

I totally love all of the sherlock holmes stories and not just the canon I find it amazing that a character written in near the end of the Victorian period is still being rejuvinated and still just as loved as it was then. I never struggled to read as a kid, if you were to seem 9/10 times you would see me with a nose in a book but it was only just one weird day when I must of been 12 or 13 and had some pocket money and walked into those bargin book shops that no longer exist anymore and found the whole collection of sherlock holmes in its original revised edition penguin classic collection for a bargin £10 I just had to buy and am a sherlockian ever since lol and proud of it :)

This where it started- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar allan Poe.
Great thriller writing always returns somehow to the Fountainhead.

If I get lost on direction in a story, I'll pick up Sherlock Holmes and find my way home.

I read some Sherlock after watching the New Series.
I was surprised how good it was.
