Over the last few weeks, I've been sidetracked by everything Sherlock Holmes, including movies, TV Shows, You Tubes and podcasts about Holmes and his author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -
Great Lives Podcast: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle |
SIDELIGHTS ON SHERLOCK HOLMES from ACD'S MEMORIES & ADVENTURES |
PULLING UP THE ANCHOR from MEMORIES & ADVENTURES |
I can't say that I have become a big Sherlock Holmes fan, but it has been an education on popular culture and the life and beliefs of Sir Arthur.
And I did enjoy watching most of the 1984 TV episodes of 'Sherlock Holmes' starring the late Jeremy Brett on Britbox, who for my money was the best Sherlock Holmes I've watched on the screen.
Plus, that TV series was very loyal to ACD's short stories.
And wouldn't you know it, as soon as I had listened to and watched all of the short stories from 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' the book crosses my path?

But I bought it anyway, as it looked so nice in its fake leather book cover.
At least I can put all those adventures behind me now and move on to the next book I plan to read in my quest to read 1001 books that I must read before I die, 'Diary of a Nobody'.
I think I can relate to that, as it sounds a lot like my blog, don't you think;-)
Well, we all need a hobby, I guess?
