I've just started reading the SHERLOCK HOLMES stories, by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, again.

Yes he is! I would have said the same, John Howard is such an endearing character. Also loved Requiem For A Wren.

I must admit that I haven't read REQUIEM FOR A WREN, yet; I'll have to try to find the time to read that one soon.

I managed to get the complete set of Neville Shute books one time for $20, at a book fair. They look like they've never been read. I've read many of his books and really enjoy his writing. Which is your favourite?

Hi poppy,

Well, I'd say that THE PIED PIPER is probably my favourite; and isn't he an excellent author!

1. JANE EYRE by Charlotte Bronte

Actually: I've paused my reading on Arthur Conan Doyle's A STUDY IN SCARLET; mainly so that I can concentrate on Charlotte Bronte's SHIRLEY: I've gone back to the start of SHIRLEY, again, having got about a quarter of the way through it, in the first attempt, which in turn was a while ago; I'm finding it a little bit tedious at this stage, but I'm determined to persist with it this time, as I love the writing style of Charlotte Bronte; Has anyone else had this experience with SHIRLEY?!

Thank you for the warm and lovely welcomes! It really is nice to be here.

At the Moment I'm reading A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; and I'm also reading Shirley by Charlotte Bronte. 

[Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte]

Rather black; but very good! 

[Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte]

A superb story indeed; I loved it! 

[The Bronte sisters]

The Bronte Sisters were geniuses! 

[Are there any men who enjoy the Bronte novels?]

I love the novels by the Bronte sisters! I've read JANE EYRE AND WUTHERING HEIGHTS; and now I'm reading SHIRLEY.
