  1. Ruth - Thank you for hosting. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a new author for me and I have always wanted to read him. I am signing up for the Seven Percent Solution.

  2. I am so very excited about this. I've always planned on reading/rereading the canon books, but could never seem to motivate myself to do so. This challenge is fantastic for me, so thank you so much for hosting it!

    (And I've even got some pastiches that I can read, too!)

  3. If you like radio dramas, there is from to time some very good Sherlock Holmes dramas on BBC Radio 7. You can listen to them over the Internet. If I recall the address correctly, it is: http://www.bbc.co.uk. I will try to inform this challenge group when there is a series. You can listen to an episode within a week from airdate in the Listen Again section. I am going for the 7% Solution level.

  4. I'll be doing the Three Pipe Problem -- planning to read Hound of the Baskervilles, Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Beekeeper's Apprentice. Should be fun!

  6. I'm doing the Seven Percent Solution. I'll be re-reading Ms. King as well as reading the originals.

    Here's the question: will books that are directly influenced by Holmes (such as Holmes on the Range by Steve Hockensmith) be included? I'd hate for Big Red & Old Red be left out. In fact, I'm sure they'd be crushed.

  9. I'm really late to this, but I'm reading A Study in Scarlet (done), The Sign of the Four and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes to start, plus since a friend just mentioned it The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer. I may read more but for now that's all I can commit myself to do. :)

  10. Er...I guess based on what I said previously, I'm in for The Sign of Four at least. Beyond that, we'll see.
