So today is my sister's birthday. :D She turned seventeen today, what a good age that was! We're all going to Kingston later this evening, one of our stops is a bookstore. Any good Holmes-ish books I should be on the look out for

I went through a similar thing for two years at my last place of work, the only way I can describe the girl in question is with the word 'cunt', but even that doesn't come close.

Happy birthday to your sister! My brother turned 17 this year as well :-)

As for Holmes books...:
'In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes' by Michael Harrison
'Sherlock Holmes: The Unauthorised Biography' by Nick Renison
'Elementary My Dear Watson' by Graham Nowin
'The Real World of Sherlock Holmes' by Peter Costello
'Conan Doyle: Detective' by Peter Costello

Non-Holmes:
'Mr Clive & Mr Page' by Neil Bartlett
'Boswell's London Journals'
'Gormenghast Trilogy'

I'm sure I could recommend more but this would become a very long post!

It's almost reassuring that there are other people in the world who have gone through this sort of thing, but on the other hand it's sad that people have to go through such a thing as well.

But, we all come out stronger people because of it. :D

Oh my, that is quite a booklist! *writes them all down* I can imagine how long the comment would become if you wrote down each book that you would suggest. XD

The comment would just go on and on and on and on... XD

[skylockee]

It would separate into two different comments! I'm sure LJ has a word limit. XD

Yup, LJ has a word limit... Having long Holmes discussions with nekosmuse the word limit soon becomes apparent. *grin*

[skylockee]

Hee :D I can safely say I haven't hit the word limit yet!
