I really understand you. For one, Doyle wasn't the most brilliant writer, and considering he wasn't the most brilliant writer over a hundred years ago doesn't make his writing any better, on the contrary.
The fact that, to read his stories, you have to sometimes wade through an enormous mass of imperialism-based racism, among some other problems, doesn't help. I tried really hard to enjoy them, but I didn't manage to read all of the Holmes stories. A Study in Scarlet, for example, was nice until the whole Salt-Lake-murderer-background-story exposition. Also, the fact that it's never possible to take a guess at the culprit yourself because Holmes just pulls the solutions out of his hat all the time while Watson fawns on tends to make the whole thing a bit dull.
