I was literally reading Sherlock Holmes: A study in scarlet online, first time ever(i maybe watched a bbc adapatation on dvd sometime 15-19 yrs ago), greatly enjoyed it and read the next Sign of Four.
I hvnt been reading much of any books recently.

I do like me some Holmes sometimes. I have a very old little book with a collection of the stories that I read every few years.

Pretty much agree with Sarge there, although for some reason "Sign of the Four" has never been one of my favourites. Speckled band was pretty damn good though.

I'm back on the ole donaldson except audio. Through the gap, first chronicles, the two new ones, starting on last chronicles now. I read 4/5 of the last book then decided i would read ALL DONALDSON AGAIN before finishing.

Always a good idea. I can't do audio books though, too slow.

Still need to get the new series though.

The Institute by Stephen King.

Great little book! Thoroughly enjoying it (even if in places it is a trifle uncomfortable).

Just finished Fareed Zakaria's Ten Lessons for a Post-pandemic World.

It should more rightly have been called 15 or 20 Questions for the modern world, with lots of historical context and excerpts from other famous writers, and some very interesting thoughts to ponder over the next few years. But that's a touch wordy.

Quite interesting, though.
