Which story would you like to read and discuss next in book club?

**Posted by sherlockskitty** July 15, 2012 12:24 am

how about Study in Scarlet? The beginning is a very good place to start.

Damn, I don't have that book yet. I'll join the discussion when I've read it.

Remember if anyone doesn't have the whole collection; it's online here:
http://archive.org/details/SherlockHolmesComplete

I choose the pdf version; I don't have a kindle, no need really.

we can choose what books the members have now. Drama, what book suits your fancy?

And, I see we have a thread open for Empy House here. EMPT is in the title. the other two threads also have one book already discussed, so-- we could read those books again, to get caught up.

4-4-12 has FINA Final Problem;
7-5-12 has CHAS The adventure of Charles Agustus Milverton, which is quite an enjoyable mystery.

I'd love to read Study in Scarlet again after many years. I'll try to find the time. I already read the first pages and had to smile at the many parallels to ASiP.

Study in Scarlet would be good. I downloaded the whole collection for free as part of my I-pad bookshop. Bargain!

what book are we reading? when do we discuss it?

**Posted by The Doctor** July 23, 2012 3:20 am

Maybe start now and give it 2 weeks per story?

**Posted by Davina** July 23, 2012 7:34 am

Right let's get this started again shall we or we risk it being A Study in Prevaracation or The Adventure of the Empty Library!

Let us start at the very beginning...get the Dirdls and Lederhosen out...a very good place to start.

STUD ... as in A Study In Scarlet.

Give it two weeks. Come back with your book reports eh kids!

OK, I'll start a new thread for our discussion of it....

**Posted by sherlockskitty** July 23, 2012 5:37 pm

OK great!! I've started reading it.

**Posted by The Doctor** July 24, 2012 3:14 am

I am in.

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** August 27, 2012 2:08 pm

So, we've done STUD....

Am I right in thinking we should plough on and all read SCAN...seeing as that's the next story chronologically?

**Posted by SusiGo** August 27, 2012 2:26 pm

Yes, that's a great one. Much stuff to compare.

**Posted by Davina** August 27, 2012 2:44 pm

I agree with SCAN being next. It makes sense to read them in order.

**Posted by hypergreenfrog** August 27, 2012 2:58 pm

I have actually just stared reading SCAN, so I am obviously very much in favour of it being the next one for the book club

**Posted by hypergreenfrog** August 31, 2012 8:14 am

I have finished reading the sorty, should/can I start a separate thread about it?

**Posted by Davina** August 31, 2012 12:00 pm

Sounds like a plan to me.

**Posted by SusiGo** August 31, 2012 8:20 pm

Ready if you are.
