You have no idea how much I envy you. I wish I could read all of those stories again for the first time. Really, you should give it a try. I predict you'll love it.stoppoppingtheP wrote:I have a confession to make. I have never read a Sherlock Holmes book.

I have just never considered that I would enjoy it, but perhaps I should give it a try.

We have spilled much ink, you and I, in our discussion of human connection, and we're no closer to understanding than we were when our correspondence began. I often feel as if I am standing on one side of a wide chasm, shouting across, and wondering if the response I hear comes from you, or if it is my own voice, echoing back to me. It seems to me, on my side of the canyon, the search for unity with another is the font of much of the world's unhappiness. I watch as Watson, eager as ever to extract some meaning from the prevailing social conventions, endures a series of curated mating rituals. It seems to me that she's incrementally... less content each time she returns from one. I conduct myself as though I'm above matters of the heart, chiefly because I have seen them corrode people I respect. But in my candid moments, I sometimes wonder if I take the stance I do because "love", for lack of a better word, is a game I fail to understand, and so I opt not to play. After all, if I truly had the purity of all my convictions, I wouldn't regret so many of the things I've done, nor would I persist against many of my better instincts in this correspondence. I find you a challenge; one that, in spite of all that you've done, continues to stimulate. And so the conversation - futile though it may finally be - continues. And we are left to wonder, have we simply failed to find the answers to the questions that preoccupy us, or can they not be answered at all? Fortunately for both of us, the world always presents the next diversion, the next elaborate distraction from the problems that vex. - The Diabolical Kind, Elementary

I first read about Sherlock Holmes in high school, it was many years ago. He caught my attention right away! His character was so amazing and interesting that I began to think how could someone be so so genius and pick up threads from the most uncommon of places. Although he was a fictional character still, I let my imagination go wild and said to myself, 'Consider that someone like him must be out there! It must be so breathtaking to meet that someone in person.' But oh! Here's the rub..I cannot allow someone, anyone to read my mind and bluntly announce my past and whereabouts in front of me! That must be so humiliating and confusing!

This is probably one of the best lines ever written in a piece of fiction. The series being Watson's memoirs also give such an interesting other layer to the whole ordeal...
