Reading material

I love reading.
Whenever i start reading a good book i turn into my father - i get 'deaf ears' and do very little else until the book is finished. It becomes quite an obsession!
I've been reading Sherlock Holmes recently having been lent a copy that was printed in 1912. The Art Nouveau embossed green fabric cover and the illuminated text within has just added to the books' charm. The epic themes woven into the story The Sign of the Four have blown me away. Thrown from moments of tender love to imagining a malillminated corpse from recognisable London to remote parts of an emerging U.S.
I can't wait to read more!
