Wed, January 21, 2004 - 5:55 PMThe Adventure of the Speckled Band was pretty good. That's the one with the snake in the other room right? My all time favorite is The Adventure in Bohemia. I loved reading about the woman who out smarted old Sherlock.

Then perhaps The Blue Carbuncle and Silver Blaze; in 4th and 5th respectively.

Sun, January 25, 2004 - 11:11 AMPips = seeds. I don't like the WORD pips. The story was good, though.
I am kinda partial to the dancing men. -

Tue, February 17, 2004 - 12:03 PMMine is still "A Study in Scarlet". I like the info about Holmes' past and the details of how he and Watson first teamed up. -

Thu, February 19, 2004 - 4:56 PMI also like The Man with the Twisted Lip or was it called The Man with the Crooked Lip? It's the first time I can recall reading in a Holmes story about cocaine and opium dens. -

It's a good one. It's also got a choice quote about Holmes' cocaine habit. In that same bit, nowhere did Holmes specifically deny smoking opium.
