I don't think I have ever read Oscar Wilde, but I have read every single one of the Sherlock Holmes stories and there is non better! Your entire description rings true in my heart, with one exception would be Jeremy Brett was not the best Holmes in my mind, but that series was written well. I much prefer the older b&W series with Leslie Howard. The stories are a bit simplified, but I felt the character better portrayed. <br />I am fortunate enough to have trustworthy friends to lend to, but perhaps this is because we generally exchange books and so each hold something of the others.

Loved the author Walter Farley's "The Black Stallion" as a child. As an adult, I read for information rather than for pleasure. So, I tend to read articles rather than an entire book. But, love hearing about other's experiences reading novels.anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14811475074927928802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-40277260774662777312020-06-28T08:34:02.510+05:302020-06-28T08:34:02.510+05:30Don't lend your books to friends.
