“I’ve just re-read that recently, and I’d forgotten how much I love those stories. It’s just so good! I got turned onto that when I was a kid. When I was really young I was a huge fan of Encyclopedia Brown, that little kid who solves mysteries and shit, and then as I got older I was casting about trying to find something similar, and I just happened to see the movie adaptation of the non-Doyle story, where Sherlock tackles his cocaine addiction with the help of Sigmund Freud. It’s a brilliant movie, and that kinda got me interested in Sherlock Holmes, so I went back and read pretty much everything. The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes has everything, and a couple of years ago my wife got me a second edition print of that, in pristine condition, which is really awesome. You can actually write to 221b Baker Street and they write back to you as Sherlock Holmes, kinda like Santa Claus.”↗
