"I... kinda like Sherlock Holmes" - really, I wouldn't have noticed? 🤣 Wow, what a collection. I've listened to the complete Sherlock Holmes audible collection, narrated by Stephen Fry 😍 such a steal and just wonderful.
Aye, but let's be honest, you cannae read audio books. :) But, of course i like Christopher Lee's and even Vincent Price's horror stories. I guess we'd better enjoy being a reader than being the audience. :)
Some read for the pleasure of the familiar, some read for the pleasure of the singular. And, some have a foot in both plots. Thanks for another stimulating video. I do hope you return to Holmes, on many occasions, to explore the depths of these narratives.
I love your video. I grew up on his stories. They definitely make us act with a lot of kindness for everyone. It’s such a joy to revisit this absolutely flamboyant man. So real as if he is still with us. Your love for Sherlock Homes has him alive once more. Thank you for doing what and how you connect through the media. From Mis Margo,Loyal Fan. Bye
I too have enjoyed all the canon of Sherlock Holmes stories. I think one thing that resonates with me is that in Holmes’s world, people are somewhat predictable in the actions that they will take. A reporter taking in more money as a sympathetic beggar than his reporter’s salary, for example, will become the beggar. I never got to employ any level of inciteful logic on people, but back when I worked as a software coder and tester, that was the arena in which I could apply logic to determine the causes of anomalies. Those were my Sherlock Holmes moments.
Great video. I completely agree with you that when people come up with the theories about Holmes being in love with Irene Adler or Watson that they are just projecting. Great collection of the various editions!
I've loved Sherlock Holmes since we were assigned to read "The Hound of the Baskervilles" in the 6th grade. Now, I read tons of Holmes pastiches all the time.... Great analysis, Michael. At the heart of it, it is the Holmes/Watson relationship that hooks you. You know, Londoners were wearing black arm bands in mourning after Doyle killed off Holmes. I would like to have seen more of Mycroft in the original stories, but he sure appears in the pastiches. Baring-Gould has a great theory that Holmes was the father of Nero Wolfe. I love that!
I adore Sherlock Holmes so much. The copy I have is the Castle Books Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes that I got from my grandmother. I definitely crave that leatherbound version though.
Few days ago i just realized there's a Sir Doyle Statue here in Edinburgh cos he was born in Edinburgh. And the funny thing is this moment happened while i watched one of your Robert E. Howard "show". You're such a nice man, and honestly I'm happy you have a cool videoblog here. Well, this video is an auld one, but today You're much better. Keep it up, and Cheers from Edinburgh
You can tell this is one of your early videos. You've certainly come a long way. I have only one thing to say regarding your Sherlock Holmes collection, "Hold my beer." 😉 I'll have to share my own Holmes collection one of these days. Thanks, Michael...Good video!
I love Sherlock Holmes, and this year finally got around to reading all the stories. Just wondering Michael, have you read Shadows over Baker Street; Holmes stories set in the Lovecraft universe!
Why do I love Sherlock Holmes? Because its amazeballs, thats why! I refuse to read or watch any spinoffs or modern retellings. Only original Sherlock Holmes will do! Accolades to Sir Doyle! If you ever get the chance, the London Sherlock Holmes house is completely wonderful! Looks just like you'd picture it in the book! So wonderful!
I first read Sherlock Holmes as a teenager and didn't like the book and then read him as an adult and loved him, read them twice as an adult and want to read them again. I loved the old Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone.
I'm sure I have the complete collection of Sherlock on my kindle and I will try to read the first novel this year. I'm really enjoying your channel, I'm so happy that I subscribed. You should be proud with your channel. Loads of people are watching your videos and have subscribed to your channel too.
I compare the evolution of Sherlock Holmes to the evolution of Mr. Spock in Star Trek. From cold and emotionless to an emotional, caring figure. Like Holmes he was killed off and resurrected.
You are right, that is exactly what he was doing at the moment of the meeting. Watson was just told about the corpses being beaten by Stamford. I realized I didn’t make this clear after I finished the video but thought...oh, nobody will catch that anyway. Ha, you showed me!
Just out of curiosity, did you like the Robert Downey Sherlock movies? I thought they were brilliant. Making my way through the books now. Be well, stay safe.
Speaking of Sherlock, how do you feel about dramatic adaptions of him chiefly Basil Rathbone and Bernard can't remember his last name in the tv version?
@@michaelk.vaughan8617 Basil's depiction was aided by the black & white atmospheric quality of the old movies. I will have to check Jeremy's renditions. Thanks for responding!
I think we just have to be careful and not confuse Doyles' absolute canon and the BBC version. My other favorite character in these books are brother Mycroft. How I would like to meet him ! Can you even imagine poor Momma Holmes trying to put up with those two boys ? (This is the time when we are glad they are fictional)
Ah, you might be referring to Sherlock beating those corpses! In the story Watson was only told about this by Stanford before he actually met Holmes. Holmes was actually working on perfecting a blood test at the actual moment of meeting. I realized later that I never made this clear during my video. I would never disrespect the absolute canon!
@@michaelk.vaughan8617 Never fear !!! I KNEW you wouldn't LOL. I was mostly reminding others because the BBC's versions were awfully good (Moffat is an amazing writer). The Collected works was the first book I ever purchased as a teenager. It was hard cover and I saved for, what seemed like, an eternity! It finally fell apart last year after serving some 40 years. LOL !!
One of the most insightful commentaries on Sherlock Holmes that I have ever heard.

Great to hear your take on Sherlock Holmes....I've loved him since I was a teenager 🎄
Working my way through your older videos. Enjoying it all.
Thanks Book Guy! I appreciate you watching!
I'm very distracted by the Star Trek symbol on the book by your shoulder... 🤩.
Oh science fiction! You'll be speaking my language!
That was a heartening video! Thank you for posting it!

I have The Annotated Sherlock Holmes too. Believe it or not I found it at Goodwill!
Wow! That’s unbelievable! I’m so glad you found it, it’s fantastic!
Thank you Sir, for sharing your thought n explanation about the great detective Sherlock Holmes in whom I'm truly one of his fan indeed! GGOD

Some great insights into Holmes! And quite an impressive collection of Holmes volumes. I’m sure that’s not half of it though…

Fascinating insight into S.H. And also wise advice about being ourselves! Love your tie, btw.

I'm just really enjoying your videos and commentary. 😊

Have you read Vincent Starrett's biography of Sherlock Holmes? Or Philip José Farmer's biography of Tarzan, which links the two characters?
😂 I'm like this with Frankenstein!
I have five editions of Frankenstein. I really have a problem.
@@michaelk.vaughan8617 🤣 it happens
I've just started the Sherlock Holmes stories last month!
Awesome! I kind of like Sherlock Holmes.
Another great video. 👍
Do you have the six Larry Millet novels of Holmes that takes place in MN?......or Nicholas Meyer's "Seven Percent Solution."?
What are your thoughts on Sherlock Pasthiches? Like the Further Adventures for example.
I've read all the stories and every episode of the Jeremy Brett series. And I have also been to the Holmes museum in London
I really need to go there one day.
Have you done a video on the professor Challenger series?
Not yet. One day!

@@michaelk.vaughan8617 Your very welcome
I compare the evolution of Sherlock Holmes to the evolution of Mr. Spock in Star Trek. From cold and emotionless to an emotional, caring figure. Like Holmes he was killed off and resurrected.
And they are both wonderful characters!
I thought Sherlock was working on a blood test, or something of that nature. Now I have 2 reread it.😁
You are right, that is exactly what he was doing at the moment of the meeting. Watson was just told about the corpses being beaten by Stamford. I realized I didn’t make this clear after I finished the video but thought...oh, nobody will catch that anyway. Ha, you showed me!
Did you say HP Lovecraft 👂
Just out of curiosity, did you like the Robert Downey Sherlock movies? I thought they were brilliant. Making my way through the books now. Be well, stay safe.
I liked the first one a good deal more than the second. It would be nice to get a third.
Speaking of Sherlock, how do you feel about dramatic adaptions of him chiefly Basil Rathbone and Bernard can't remember his last name in the tv version?
Jeremy Brett was, by far, the best Sherlock Holmes on screen. I do like Basil Rathbone quite a bit though.
@@michaelk.vaughan8617 Basil's depiction was aided by the black & white atmospheric quality of the old movies. I will have to check Jeremy's renditions.
Thanks for responding!
My fave!
Where is your deerstalker Harris tweed cap?
I didn’t have it yet!

I think Sherlock was based on some one... IMHO
