I had to read "A Study in Scarlet" for my book club this month, and picked up a collection that included "The Hound of the Baskervilles". Turned out I had read all of them before, but yeah, around age 12 so it was kinda fuzzy. :-)

I first read Holmes aged around 12 as well (got bored one Easter, Mother suggested the collected stories). Have read them several times since and now have the lot on my Kindle so will doubtless work my way through them again soon enough.
