Re: First-time Sherlock Holmes readthrough anon: Update II

You seem to be taking your time with your impressions quite beautifully, anon! I love that you noticed the atmosphere - that's one of my favorite things about the stories as well.

And your impression of Holmes and Watson are pretty much on. Holmes has some more abrasive or douchey moments here and there (though actually, after googling the list of stories and looking at the ones you've read so far, I can't think of any in those stories off the top of my head.) But they're mostly like, just general callousness or arrogance, he's not a mean guy at all. He has a few really big dickhead moments, but only a few. And yeah, Watson is such a thrill-seeker, but he only seems to fanboy about it in his narration, not his dialogue or actions, which is kind of a pity.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but if you like the characterization, I'd recommend reading the first two novels (A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four) when you're finished with this volume of stories. They're longer and therefore have more room for more expanded character scenes.
