That's been a tricky one for some years, re Doyle
<UmbralRaptop>
OTOH, I now have all 4 novels and 44/56 short stories on my phone to read later.
<UmbralRaptop>
Also, current political dysfunction means that works actually entered the public domain this year
<Pinkbeast>
Well, if you want the other 9, I daresay someone in a slightly less barking jurisdiction can help
<UmbralRaptop>
I mean, they're on wikisource. Just not at epub levels of convenience

"Had this test been invented, there are hundreds of men now walking the earth who would long ago have paid the penalty of their crimes."

(Yes, I know that the novel is 132 years old, but still)

Starting from the beginning?
<UmbralRaptop>
yeah. I'll stop if I get bored. Also, I swear that Holmes is an early attempt at writing someone with ASD and ADHD o_O
<Pinkbeast>
While I don't in general like the BBC _Sherlock_ I did quite appreciate that Watson was wounded in a pointless invasion of Afghanistan
<Pinkbeast>
(I did enjoy _Elementary_)
<Pinkbeast>
I ask because in general the short stories are better.
<UmbralRaptop>
ah
<UmbralRaptop>
Also, not having to change that bit of Watson's backstory at all feels weird
