This was my 3rd time reading this book (in addition to the excerpts my students read in their textbooks each year) and I've found that I've been absorbed in completely different characters and plot details each time. I also seem to like the story more with each reading. We discussed this at book club last night, and some of the talking points included: Holmes' ethics and treatment of/attitude toward Watson; Dr. Mortimer's funny skull fascination; Holmes and Watson's living arrangements; treatment of the servants by various characters; Watson's personality; the Stapleton weirdness. We also compared the book to the Sherlock episode, which is a fantastic modernization with interesting interpretations.
MY COURSE IS MAKING ME READ SOME GREAT BOOKS THIS SEM AAAAAAAAA
loved the writing, loved all the twists, the very good mystery and overall the whole concept of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. I’d definitely read more of Arthur Conan Doyle in the future
