Sherlock Holmes Short Stories - excellent!
to be precise, the memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. No matter how many times you read them these short stories are so evocative. You can return to them after years, thinking you know Sherlock from the TV shows that are continually on, but the prose hits you everytime. It is pared back and unflowery, with a sense of import in every word.
Sir Arthur might have come to loathe his creation, but Sherlock Holmes is a great vessel for his ingenuity and invention.
The novels sometimes err too far into witchcraft and unknown poisons and generall jiggery-pokery, but these short stories are a fantastic read and well worth getting to know.
