Too bad, the thread has gone short.

I am a big fan of Sherlock Holmes myself. It was reading an abridged Holmes collection when I was 10 years old that got me hooked to reading.

Till today I read detective fiction. Occasionally I revisit 221B Baker Street. Of course, The Hounds of Baskerville is my favourite...favourite to most Holmes fans.

I also have collections of pastiches and parodies. I have one collection with original drawings. Never can get enough. No wonder I'm always broke.

One mistaken quote. "Elementary, my dear Watson" is used to be attributed to Holmes. But he never said that in the Doyle books. It was popularised in the films and later in other pastiches. In the book, he just said, "Elementary."

Another favourite quote is "The Game is afoot."

Or

"The curious incident of the dog at night"
"The dog did nothing."
"That was curious"

Here you can find load of quotes:
