Starting from the beginning. The BBC series really does a good job of capturing Sherlock's personality.

Some Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rereading

"Hurray! I finally finished it!" I ejaculated like John Watson throughout this book!

Nothing but silence-- complete heart- subduing silence.

Finished the first story, glad I decided to re-read these.

It is an open secret that the credit of this smart capture belongs entirely to the well-known Scotland Yard officials, Messrs. Lestrade and Gregson. The man was apprehended, it appears, in the rooms of a certain Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who has himself, as an amateur, shown some talent in the detective line, and who, with such instructors, may hope in time to attain to some degree of their skill.

I reeeeeally miss Mr Holmes in this tale about him. Ugh.

On the Great Alcali Plain makes me snooze.

It's heads I win and tails you lose (c)

There is a mystery about this which stimulates the imagination; where there is no imagination there is no horror. (c) True.

The more I read the more I fall in love. My type of guy for sure.

"under the sun" turned into "под луной". Lolwhy, what is the problem between you and the sun, mr translator?

Watson's attempt to take the conceit out of him [Holmes] (c) was so funny and was meant to fail lol

From long habit the train of thoughts ran so swiftly through my mind, that I arrived at the conclusion without being conscious of intermediate steps. (с) Holmes - Now that is valuable.

During the first week or so we had no callers, and I had begun to think that my companion was as friendless a man as I was myself. (с) - Да, Ричи, у Ватсона было много... more

During the first week or so we had no callers, and I had begun to think that my companion was as friendless a man as I was myself. (с) - Да, Ричи, у Ватсона было много друзей, он же не Холмс! Это уже ко второму фильму вопрос.

Haven't read a Sherlock book in a long time.

Is an expert singlestick player, boxer, and swordsman. (c) - Так и вижу Ливанова в боксерских перчатках xD

Desultory readers are seldom remarkable for the exactness of their learning.

however, be it remembered, how objectless was my life, and how little there was to engage my attention. My health forbade me from venturing out unless the weather was exceptionally genial, and I had no friends who would call upon me and break the monotony of my daily existence. Under these circumstances, I eagerly hailed the little mystery which hung around my companion, and spent much of my time in endeavouring to unravel it. (с) Watson's life was meaningless, then he met Holmes and it got some sense. How sweet.

Pretty much Watson in chapter two, "I was really bored so I stared at Sherlock for weeks on end and then made a list of what he's faulty at." Love it so far!

Finished! Gonna read more Holmes soon.

Can't help but feeling that he was fully justified

I imagine Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock while I'm reading.

I missed class? What are you talking about it's only... oh, oops... I guess I can make it to my second one, though I'd much rather keep reading. Loving it so far!

Finished the book already! ;D

Being a fan of both the recent movies and the BBC show, I figured it's about time I start reading the originals (lucky there are free copies available online, since this sudden urge to read them decided to present itself at 11:30 at night)... I just couldn't help but imagine Cumberbatch when Holmes shows up. I know I'm only one chapter in, but if this is anything to go by, Moffat and Cumberbatch seem to have captured Holmes' voice and personality absolutely perfectly!

Let the journey begin

Put it down for a while. Had some issues getting into anything I tried to read. Stress, I think. Back to it.
