#this is from the memoirs of sherlock holmes btw.

Whenever Watson tries to psychoanalyse Holmes I get very sad that no one ever handed this man a copy of Krafft-Ebbing‘s Psychopathia Sexualis and blew his mind

BTW, for your reading records, Letters From Watson has now finished The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, and The Return of Sherlock Holmes. We are two stories away from finishing His Last Bow, and we have six stories left of The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.

As of the 19th of November, we have read 48 out of the 56 short stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon.

We have read all of ACD’s favourite stories. Our next story is The Illustrious Client.
