I read the books when I was younger so yeah pretty good. I will say that the movies though well I am just not as much of a fan of them compared to the books and the bbc series.

I watched bits and pieces thanks to my girlfriend, but it just some how never caught my intrest. So, I suppose I'll stop with my minor derailment here.:P

As a TV series watching a nondesript Hallmark Channel version which I liked a lot and helped cement the idea of classy Sherlock & Watson a lot like Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce used to do. Currently I love BBC's Sherlock, even though it gets more and more self-referential and fan-baity with ever season. As for film, I'm not a big fan of Guy Ritchie's version. It's fun and I like RDJ and Jude Law's banter but it doesn't feel like Sherlock at all to me. It's an action movie in period costume. Agreed The Great Mouse Detective is an awesome version and one of my favorite incarnations. Love Ratigan as Moriarty. As for books, I've read The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, His Last Bow, The Valley of Fear and The Hound of the Baskervilles. "Hound" I liked the tone and atmosphere though I was disappointed Sherlock sits out most of the story. Same deal with "Valley", half the story is just a big flashback from some dude. "Adventures" I don't remember very much. "Last Bow" has a nice mix of stories, a lot of which break the formula of first-person narration or the fact sometimes there isn't even a case. Plus there's a lot of Mycroft in them, which is always a nice plus.
