You Milton quoting high-nosed JU kids can pitch the rest of the English Literature against me here, but, I kid you not, we had the Hound of the Baskervilles in Class 7 and by the end of that year, I'd gone over the whole body of work multiple times.
Conan Doyle, other than Tolkien is the only other author I've ever cared to internalize :)
I still think In the Country of the Saints, Part Two is the best bloody love story ever penned.
but this video makes them look slightly gay...don't you think? no disrespect intended of course... and in school i used to read holmes so obsessively, that in class 6 my mother hid the bloody book, because i refused to read anything else...
@rim: :) acd's india is perfectly weird, so i can understand that a lot else might also be so. but the man can write. seriously.
@mojo: hmm, now you point it out. i have been watching some of this obsessively these last few days, and quite like what is achieved. the writing is a different thing altogether, and it does help here that brett knows his holmes word for word.
valid point. i mean, sign of four was slightly alarming in that regard. bodhoy it really portrays how the britishers saw the munity from their point of view.
hnya...there was than one about the crooked soldier..he was also from india, the man was quite obsessed with india. but have you read his historical fiction? khub bhaalo kintu, he wrote quite a bit apart from holmes...boxing stories, pirate stories, supernatural stories...

what is it? office video khulte deyna
um. the video is jeremy brett (and david burke/edawrd hardwicke), really. who does the dryness rather well, i think... and the companionship.
butbut you have to read the stuff. like mojo has... and we shall tell you that it is one of those irreplaceables, all said and done.
