Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Volume II (Bantam Classic)

I've run the course now and followed along through every adventure spanning Sherlock's 27 year career and find myself feeling as so many of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's readers felt in his time...I don't want to say goodbye.I had never read Sherlock Holmes and have never been a big fan of short stories, having found most boring, uninteresting and unimaginative. The latter I'm sorely lacking in myself, perhaps all three,, so I pick up on this easily when reading someone else's work. Mr. Doyle was none of those things and has the ability to grasp the attention early on and only make you greedy for more. I don't know where he got all his ideas but imagination was not his weakness and one of my favorites from the casebook files must always be "The "Lion's Mane. Who would have thought the culprit to be the world's largest jellyfish?? And a story that brought back childhood memories on St. Augustine beach encountering my first jellyfish, though obviously not the fatal results!If you're someone who enjoys short stories of the titillating type with only brief intervals in which to read, this book along with volume 1, comes highly recommended. One doesn't notice the hundreds of pages comprising these volumes, only a sadness at them coming to an end from a life well lived in it's bringing so much enjoyment to others. It is not hard to see why so many have said they will read these stories again for the sheer pleasure it brings to revisit a long lost friend.Many thanks as well to all those hard working souls at Wikipedia and Bing translation for making my reading experience always one of learning as well as enjoyment. Odd though it may be to many, these are my most favored and most used features on my Fire which I also must give a 5 star review for such a seamless experience all around thus far.should you happen to be someone who uses Wikipedia, please consider making a donation to them. They are supported only through donations and a contribution of only $3.00 keeps them up and running to provide books and education to those far less fortunate than many reading this review. The world is full of so many wonders offering so much knowledge from then to now. Please consider this the next time you find yourself tapping "go to Wikipedia". It's less than the cost of many books and games we purchase and where would we be as people who enjoy our reading without them? I can't imagine my world without books and the knowledge they have brought over the years nor why others who've never had access should want for something so priceless. Please consider this.Disclaimer: I do not work for or with Wikipedia and no one from Wikipedia has suggested I make this request on their behalf. I take sole responsibility for it's posting.

Essential reading, this paperback edition is my favorite along with the other volume. I wear glasses and found the typeface easy to read.
