Sherlock Holmes discussion

Go ahead and make yourself known! :) You can put random stuff about yourself and your favorite Sherlock Holmes mystery. If you're a newbie to the world of Sherlock, you can put why you want to read them, instead. :D

Hi, I'm Mel! My favorite Sherlock Holmes mystery is A Study in Scarlet (see Story Discussions). I LOVE marshmallows, reading, and writing. I am fond of doodling and have recently discovered I'm part Space Llama. :D

Hello!

I started reading Sherlock Holmes earlier this year. At first I listened to a couple of the short stories on audible because I got them cheap! I then found a couple of books when I was having a clear out and got hooked!

I was so surprised at how easy they were to read considering how long ago they were written. I also realised how much modern stuff is based on Sherlock's observation skills and applied logic.

I read a lot of crime books and reading Sherlock Holmes has helped me appreciate them all the more!

Other than reading I love creative pursuits and am quite into crochet at the moment.

Yay!!!!! :D

HI!

I thought I introduced myself, but never mind. Guess not. XD

I'm Robin. I like reading {duh}, tea, and stuff. I don't feel like going into detail 'cause it's 10:00 and I'm REALLY tired. So yeah. You'll figure me out soon enough. XD

Cool beans :)

Hi, everybody

My name is Tasnim, I'm 14 years old, I like reading so much and I like learning English, I also like Sherlock Holmes's mystery, I started to read about it early, but I really like it.

*Nerd freakout*
DUDE I LOVE YOUR PICTURE!

Thanks, I can give you the picture if you like it.

how interesting, two people that like teacups....

XD It's not JUST teacups, it's what comes in them!

That would be cool, Tasnim. Thanks!

Welcome

XD Khali will be Khali. I've just learned to let himself explain when he wants to.

I just find it odd that there are two girls that have teacups as their profile pics, and both found this chat..... it just seems coincidental, and I'm not one that believes in coincidences.

a lot of people don't believe in coincidences, but every thing is possible.
you can find someone with the same of your picture, it's not a big deal to be surprised about.

I know, it's just the odds. I mean, two girls with teacups as their profile pics, close to the same age, both on Goodreads, and both on this thread. I wonder what those odds are.

XD It is a bit odd.
Wait. Did I even tell you how I old I am, Khali?

Now it's iced tea 'cause it's a BILLION degrees here.

I just started reading Sherlock Holmes, but I'm already loving it. I'm studying to be a forensic scientist, so you could say the whole crime-solving thing is kind of my thing (along with reading, of course!).

And I like teacups too, for the record! :D

Hi!
No way! That's exactly what I want to go to school for! I've started reading into it further.

XD That's good!

HI NAOMI! :D Welcome to this group!!! And that is SO COOL!!! :)

HI ASHLEY!
I watch the BBC show about modern day Sherlock/Watson set up, and I've seen the recent American films.

Welcome, welcome Ashley!!! Did you say A SHOW BASED ON SHERLOCK HOLMES?!! :D What's it called?

Robin wrote: "XD It is a bit odd.

Through the science of deduction, I was able to guess that your are at least twelve or thirteen years old.

BBC: Sherlock

then there's the new Sherlock ripoff in America, Elementary. it's on CBS. well, it will be.

I can't believe they're going to make Watson a woman.

Good work, Khali. ;)

I NEED to see the Sherlock Holmes movies they recently made. Or I'll die. :()

WATSON is going to be a woman. Please excuse me while I go slam my head in a door.

I heard about that, Khali. The CBS one. I kind wanna see it just to see if it's as awful as I'm thinking it could be.

You're a bit off there, Khali.

They're fairly good, Mel, but I actually prefer BBC: Sherlock.

I'm gonna see if it's on Netflix. ;)

The first season is.

YES!!! I'm gonna watch it later. :D

Each season is only like, 3 episodes, though. And be warned-HUGE cliff hangers are that show's specialty.

okay, Robin, how old are you?

I'm not just gonna spout that out online. I'll message you.

i'm starting to be a big fan of the sherlock holmes series, and, i had heard about from my former english teacher, and when i bought it i was some-how hooked,

Sherlock Holmes is amazing. :D

i know i was thinking about some-thing do you wanna hear the idea that i had a few minutes ago

What? :D

Hi I am Krystal, I have been reading Sherlock Holmes for years. As for, my favorite I have three that ear equally my favorites, The Final Problem, The Empty House, and The Norwood Builder.

Hey Krystal! Welcome! :)

Hello! I'm Mary. I got into Sherlock Holmes after watching the BBC TV series. I've read about half the books so far and loving them! :)

First read Sherlock when I was 12, hidden under my desk while I was supposed to be doing some boring school stuff. Great reading.

WELCOME, GUYS! :D :) *does happy dance*

@Ian: High five, man. Sherlock Holmes overrules boring school stuff x100000000.

@Mary. Yeah the BBC Sherlock is wonderful. I love it.

I love BBC Sherlock and the one with Robert Downey Jr.
Sorry, I'm Gabrielle, lover of books and writing and Sherlock and more! Thank you for putting info about this group on book discussions or I never would have found it ;)

Aw, no probs. :) Thought I'd catch a few Sherlock lovers on there. :)

Hi! I'm Montana, and I strongly enjoy piano, science, and reading Sherlock Holmes! My favorite Sherlock Holmes is probably The Return of Sherlock Holmes, but it is really hard to say. All of them are the best! =D I think I've seen some of the BBC Sherlock Holmes, they're pretty good. I saw them before I read the books, but I still enjoyed the shows immensely. =D

Howdy sleuths! I adore the original Conan Doyle stories--lucked into an edition with the original Strand Magazine illustrations. They truly complement the stories. As far as a fave, well I love them all but to me the definitive is from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, "The Red-Headed League." Just brilliant.

I loved the older BBC series with Jeremy Brett and the new series called Sherlock, but am not so excited about "Elementary." I'll try to keep an open mind. Love, love, love the Robert Downey Junior movies.

Look forward to some fun chats here!

Hi Lucie and Montana! :D

@Lucie: I love, love, love those movies, too. :))))
@Montana: Piano? Coolio! :D I LOVE listening to piano pieces, but I can't play for my life. I you don't count 'Old MacDonald had a Farm' and all that. XD
