Sherlock Holmes books are fun to read. I got this one from manybooks.net and loaded it in my Kindle.
It’s a story about a murder, a stolen treasure, and the mysteries of colonial India.
There’s even an exciting steam-boat chase on the Thames!

One thing I noticed, is that Watson specifically mentions Holmes smoking a briar pipe. Every time you see Sherlock Holmes in pictures, he’s smoking a calabash. I was, therefore, always under the impression that Holmes smoked a calabash, when he really smokes a briar!
This changes everything.
Update:
Klinutor has pointed out that there is a Sherlock Holmes movie coming out this year. Judging by the trailer, it appears Holmes will be smoking a briar after all.
They’re making a movie!

The Sign of Four also discusses Holmes’ heroin habit, which he resorts to when he’s bored.
