Re: What Canon story are you reading?

I am also reading The Valley Of Fear. It is really good. I love the way the atmosphere of the place is created.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

I've 'been reading' The Valley of Fear for weeks now. Until the last few days I've been too busy to read more than a tiny bit at a time and when I do get the chance I have to go back an reread the previous bit *rolls eyes*. I hate reading like this!!

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

I'm reading "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" right now in the original English version, very nice story so far.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

Today I finished reading The Blanched Soldier. It was pretty cool actually. It's one of the ones narrated by Sherlock instead of Watson, and you can definitely tell the difference in style. It's got some nice moments in when Holmes is knocking Watson for being to sentimental in his writing.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

Just finished "A study in scarlet", my Kindle debut. It's wonderful to see how many elements of the story are woven into the fabric of ASiP. I'm looking forward to the book club discussion.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

I read "The Sign of Four" and "A Scandal in Bohemia" and "The Adventure of the Red-Headed League". But there's still a lot to rediscover. I loved Scandal, it was great to discover all the nods from "Sherlock".

I read the whole canon but my brother is on The Speckled Band now.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

I recently started reading the canon again. Even though I read all the novels and short-stories before, I have so much fun re-reading them because I recognise elements they brought into the show. 

It's "The red-headed league" at the moment, one of my favourites from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

After having finished the Adventures during my summer vacation, I'm now reading the Hound.

It keeps amazing me how different Henry is there. And how lonely John is for most of the time...

I have bought the English version with the introduction by Mr. Cumberbatch himself...

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

I'm almost ashamed to say that I haven't read any of the canon prior to watching Sherlock, so I finally downloaded the complete works to my Nook. I'm currently at the beginning--A Study In Scarlet--and enjoying it very much. I need to make more time to read (rather than, say being on the internet or watching TV shows ) but I will finish them eventually.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

I finished The Valley of Fear yesterday night. OMG it's chilling!! That "Sherlock Holmes stories" moment when you you're surprised "I should've thought of it!"  and then you're surprised again!    I feel like Watson when I read the stories, because I never see what's going on, that's what I like in SH, we can be one character, the doctor's narrative make us feel like we're as involved as he is.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

Well done, A Study in Scarlet 's a tough one to start with! I loved it though. I think you chose well for your ACD debut, TSOF is good for reference-spotting in the show too

That's what I did, for the most part, and my reaction too

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

The interesting thing is, in canon, Jefferson Hope is a sympathetic character.  You can actually empathize with why he chose to get revenge the way he did, although you cannot approve of his decision to take the law into his own hands and go for vigilante justice.  On the BBC series, though, Jefferson Hope is a villain through and through; he murders innocent victims.  The producers, writers, and director didn't make the least effort to make him appear sympathetic!

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

That's so true.

I just started The Hound of the Baskervilles. Trying to read it in English. Really interesting.

Re: What Canon story are you reading?

A Study in Scarlet. After TFP I've decided to read them all back in chronological order to... I don't know... try to entertain myself until we know whether we'll have a S5 or not. 
Oh, and I bought the edition with Moffat's introduction. But in the middle of it he tells you to read the book and come back later. So I'm reading the book.
