The Greatest Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Greatest Adventures of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle
22 posts | 18 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was both a doctor and a believer in spirits, which may partly explain why his Sherlock Holmes is one of literature's most beloved detectives: Holmes always approaches his cases with the gentility and logic of a scientist, but the stories are suffused with an aura of the supernatural. Narrated by devoted assistant Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes's adventures were so addictive that fans protested the master deducer's death in 1893 and Doyle had to resurrect him.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

The magic is gone! The Sherlock Holmes stories that kept me up at night reading five years ago now put me to an anxious sleep.
Eh bien, still better than struggling with insomnia!

Christmas Magik sure takes a lot of work! The last few days have been exhausting and I am so looking forward to a few days of not doing anything but this.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born on this day in 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have not yet read all of the Holmes books. I‘m glad to still have some to look forward to. Do you have a favorite?

There are some books I grew up with, the ones I come back to when I need comfort and an escape from harsh reality. Their words will always be with me no matter where I go. ❤️📚 #bookstoliveby #litsyriotlive

TheLondonBookworm Classics! You clearly had great taste as a child reader 😅 7y
pppooraikul @TheLondonBookworm Lol. Thanks! That's because my family kinda guided me through all the bookshelves in my earlier years. ☺️ But I'm proud to say I have a knack of picking would-be-famous books. ;) 7y
moranadatter Such great books! What's the book on the top right about? 7y
See All 9 Comments
pppooraikul @kmdartist Glad you asked! 😁 It's based on Merlin and Arthurian legend, mostly Geoffrey of Monmount version. What if when Merlin was baptised shortly after birth, his Light and Dark sides were separated? The Dark element became Merlin's brother, Myron. That's the name of the book. Myron played an important part of the Arthurian Legends but not the way Merlin did. And he struggled through out the book to prove that Dark doesn't equal evil. 7y
pppooraikul @kmdartist Darkness is itself, the same way Light is light. And while Merlin did great things to serve Britain, Myron cared about each person as an individual. The book raised the question of what goodness truly is. And the writing (only in Thai, unfortunately) was the most beautiful I've ever read. (And I read quite a lot of Thai literature!) 7y
moranadatter That sounds amazing! I wish I could read Thai. 7y
pppooraikul @kmdartist I wish so too! I'd love to translate it if my English was strong enough. 😅 7y
pppooraikul @kmdartist May I try translating the synopsis? Will you bear with me? 😂 7y
tpixie Yes do!! Sounds like a wonderful story!!! 7y

Watching Sherlock from the BBC really rekindled my love for this guy. Read this, and read The Beekeepers Assistant, too. Great stuff, really.

Louise Neil Gaiman wrote an amazing story about Sherlock's "last case"! Have you read it? Maybe that was the beekeeper reference. At the moment, I can't remember the title, but it's in Gaiman's latest collection of short stories. 8y

brittnaypozen Hey! Every time I try to tag you, it doesn't work. I think it might be because of the space in your username. I know @Riveted_Reader_Melissa had a problem because of spaces too (: 8y
