I finished the first volume of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Good stuff...I was surprised at how much I enjoyed these stories. They weren't as needlessly wordy as other stories and novels written at the time - yes, I know that authors were paid per word at the time, but more wordy doesn't always mean more gooder. I liked Doyle's charactization of Holmes, Watson, and almost all the peripheral characters. And the mysteries themselves were fun as well.

I'm taking a break from Holmes. Before I start in on Hound of the Baskervilles and volume 2 (how DID holmes survive his apparent death at the hands of Moriarty in "The Final Problem"?), I wanted to cleanse my palate. So far I've read Lansdale's Bumper Crop (short story collection). Great stuff, Lansdale's horror and weird fiction. Now I'm gonna read Bubba Ho-Tep - the short story AND script collected in one volume. Great movie, if you haven't seen it yet. Bruce Campbell is a great Elvis.

As a side note...what are the chances, Rob or another moderator, that this can get one of those thread push-pins like "What Are You Listening To?" has???
