I sadly read one of Arthur's longer novels of Sherlock Holmes (The hound of the Baskerviles) before starting on the original 56 short stories. This I've found is a great downfall because I enjoyed the latter story to be such of great interest and not as quick paced as his shorter stories which are leaving me unsatisfied with the burst. Despite this, a Scandal in Bohemia is utterly humorous with Sherlock's one liners and his remarks as well as intriguing with starting with the description of the 'late miss Irene Addler' to whom I am familiar with due to the films involing Downy.
