This thread should be moved to OGD/water cooler. (or merged w/the good books thread?)

On topic, I'm currently reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and just read the Hunger Games.

Eh how good is Sherlock Holmes.. Btw are you reading the thick as book with 9 books in one volume?

EDIT: I'm reading sherlock holmes atm; read 7 out of 9 books so far

EDIT 2: Does anyone know if the sherlock holmes tv series and/or movies are relatively accurate representations of the books?

So good, but sometimes predictable (although I kind of like figuring things out before Sherlock explains to Watson) :D I'm reading the orange penguin one that's just "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" with 12 short stories/chapters in it. Not super-thick one.

My favourite one is the Red-Headed League one.  Can't remember the exact title, but it should be fairly obvious.  :p

It's really not that hard to quantify..., but I believe that being raped once is not as bad as being raped five times, even if the one rape was by a gang of people.

Since we are all on HOLIDAYS, we need to take advantage of it. Yes getting ahead is fine, but cool off now, so you can kick ass later.

Anyways, what books are you reading now, for FUN?
