How did you know, Sherlock?

[Elementary]

Welcome!

 

Thanks!

 

And jesskayding, I'd rather read all of the books while I wait. I just got upon a part in A Case of Identity where Sherlock watches a client pace back and forth and remarks how "the oscillation on the pavement speaks of a love affair". Just like in the show, although that was during the best man speech. I love how the directors really took specific scenes from Doyle and integrated them so cleverly.

That reminds me, I gotta go off to the library and check out a bunch of Sherlock Holmes books.

I know right. I just have a hard time reading the original writings. I end up skimming, because I don't have the patience.

Seriously, Jess, try the Jeremy Brett episodes.  They are by and large very faithful to the original stories, and acted with sparkle and wit.  Then even if you still find Conan Doyle's stories tedious, at least you'll have a good idea what's in them.
