Good Omen - T. Pratchett&N. Gaiman

Hobbit - J.R.R Tolkien
Lord of the rings - J.R.R Tolkien
Merrick - A. Rice
I am what I am - J. Barrowman

And I'd say that Luck in the shadows is definitely on this list, as it's one of those book I love read again and it's always great.

Tsk tsk says the Holmesian purist, that's A Study In Scarlet in the book form. ;) But I LOVED a Study in Pink, and all the rest of the Sherlock episodes (well Hound of the Baskervilles not so much). Can't wait until Season 3 premiers here in the US on Jan. 19, on the same night as Downton Abbey!

You are right, of course - I haven't checked and as I recently rewatched series, the episode title was fresher in my mind.
I must admit that from first series I didn't enjoy Blind banker as much as the other episodes... And with Hound I have problem - i enjoyed it, but I can't reach it, as it is boring a bit when explanation is known.
I can't wait too, though i am a bit afraid too. Moffat and Gattis are brilliant duet but after waiting so long my expectations are a bit high and I dunno if the series will meet them. Also my doubts are bigger as I don't really like what Moffat did with Doctor Who... but nevertheless I can't wait to see first meeting of Sherlock and John.
