A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

HIS LAST BOW - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
This is a collection of late Sherlock Holmes stories with the last one, this collections title, published in 1917.
I have loved the Holme's stories having read and re-read most of them many times over the years.
This is the first time I've read this collection and it is obviously from the late period, the stories have no 'zip', Holmes and Watson are lack lustre and if you've read how Doyle got sick of Holmes its apparent here.
Read this if you are a completest otherwise stick to the early tales that have amazed me for years.
