Okay, okay, I started this book way back in November. It was the book I keep in my backpack for emergencies--waiting rooms, lines--that kind of thing. But that's no excuse. I guess the reason it took me so long was because the book has about 15 short stories. I'd start one and was motivated to finish it, but then I was done I'd put the book down for a while.
I selected this book for several reasons. First, Sherlock Holmes is always on those "Top 100" lists for literary characters. I want to form my own opinion. Also, I'm a big fan of the TV show "House." Greg House's character is loosely based on Sherlock Holmes, and I wanted to see for myself. But most of all, I like to read mysteries, and I thought it was time I read this classic.
Sherlock Holmes (the guy) is definitely someone I'd like to have tea with.
