lols, sorry to ruin your image of sherlock holmes o.0

(Hello, I've been lurking :ninja: )

Sherlock did more than just opium. The Seven-Per-Cent Solution is about his addiction to cocaine. I don't recall well enough on my own, but this part of the wiki says he has a "strong disapproval" of an opium den, as well as that he did morphine.

His strong disapproval stems from the fact that he is a recovering addict. I forgot about the cocaine and morphine.

....I don't think I remember that case title too!
T___T
it is so loooong time ago... T__T

I feel bad having brought it up now T.T

Why do you feel bad?

Cause you had such a happy image of sherlock holmes.....and now its tainted.

Oh well, don't worry about me.
I was a die hard fan for Harry Potter until the sixth came out. I don't like how it turns out, and I immediately drop Harry Potter from my favourite ranking. Since 4th, I had been getting strain by how the story goes. The best still the first and third.

I agree the first four where the best, but the second half of the forth was good too.

Harry Potter falls down to one of my dislike list. O__O amazingly.
But I still rather like a few setting of the world.
So, I just want to say, it is nothing if bad things is mention. I am fast to adjust.

That makes sense I guess. PLUS! Sherlock Holmes is still awesome in many other ways.

yep, his good points overshine his bad ones.

I quite agree, considering the addiction stuff was in his past.

I never never never liked Harry Potter. I started the first book when it came out when I was in 4th grade...at that point I was already reading things like Lord of the Rings and it was just too predictable and slow moving for me. So i never finished the first book or got into the others. I then tried to give it another chance a few years ago...they had the first five movies as a marathon on tv and I got through a couple of them but I was guessing everything that happened WAY before it happened and it was just boring me D:

wow... you are a very advance reader! O__O
On the other hand, I am the type looking for certain genre and plot. So even though I guess it, I still love it.

On the other hand, LOTR's plot is slower... for me. Do you read all the classics like Pride and Prejudice? Mark Twain?

I am an avid reader....but LoTR was far to slow for me. Tolken is too long winded at times.

I am still loving Enid Blyton for easy understanding and the most predictable stories of all. XD well, what twist and turn you expect from kids literature? XD but I love all those genre... can't help it. I like action, magic, fairy and so on.

heh... Maybe because of the way my Sherlock Holme's printed, as thick as dictionary and font size smaller than dictionary... it lead me to feel that Conan's writing is as long winded as well... I don't get half of the meaning while reading it. Which explains I miss a lot of information.

haha yeah I was always an advanced reader XD I loooove to read! My favorite book of all time is actually Moby Dick by Herman Melville. It's just so well written and I really enjoy reading it! I've only tried to read pride and prejudice one time and that was in I think 5th grade....I didn't like it so I stopped reading it. I should, honestly, give it another try since it's been quite a number of years since I have given it a shot XD

And Tolkien's work can go on and on and on - pages and pages about just foliage can get very boring XD But once you get through that...it's beautiful!

Have you guys ever tried reading a book called "Watt" ? OH MAN THAT BOOK IS TERRIBLE! About this guy who thinks through every scenario for...everything that can possible happen. So the author wrote out every scenario for things like is a pot a pot or a kettle? Also, I forget what he was thinking about but there were PAGES of just this: "mothers mothers mother, mothers mothers father, mothers fathers mother, mothers fathers father, fathers mothers father fathers mothers mothers father fathers mothers fathers father father, etc"

I wanted to literally through the book across the room and the ONLY reason I finished it was because I HAD to for school XD

I've never read Moby Dick. I guess I should try it.

Jane Austen's books are so enjoyable to read for me.
I just love the way she uses words, and her droll sense of humor.

I like Jane Austen personally myself.

And Maria that book sounds like a headache.

Worst book I ever had to read was 1984. I HATED that book.......I only skimed it enough to pass.....the only book I ever did that to.

...weirdly, that Watt sounds interesting to me...
not my story type, but lol, I am interested to see how horrible it can be. XD

lols, that WOULD be interesting from THAT perspective....so long as you could put it down when you grew weary of it.

lol here is a quote from it:

Consider: the darkening ease, the brightening trouble; the pleasure pleasure because it was, the pain pain because it shall be; the glad acts grown proud, the proud acts growing stubborn; the panting and trembling towards a being gone, a being to come; and the true true no longer, and the false true not yet. And to decide not to smile after all, sitting in the shade, hearing the cicadas, wishing it were night, wishing it were morning, saying, No, it is not the heart, no, it is not the liver, no, it is not the prostate, no, it is not the ovaries, no, it is muscular, it is nervous.

I wonder if I reread it now when I'm not being forced to read it if it would interest me more XD

What I read... I understand it as... random blabber with no connection with previous and next sentence...
and it is a PUBLISHED book?! O___O

Hell, then! I can publish a book too!

1984 is my favorite book ever. :ninja:
