Not trying to have a battle in investigation against him or somthing like that. Lately, i've been so infatuated by the character of holmes, the original version created by doyle of course. I'd been reading numbers of thick novels for hours non-stop, and i cant put the book down, well only for caffeine refill though. I've read agatha christie and all, but to me monsieur poirot aint got nothing in comparison to the detective from baker street himself.
So, i'm just being me, you know, when there is a legend in history whom i like, real or unreal, i'd be starting to draw similarities or common interest between the person and me. Very Pathetic i know. I was very happy when i know jackie O's daugther name is caroline and that she loves literature and history. I am a true fan of dee lestari and i am shocked in awe when finding the fact that she is a coffee addict herself (come one! why would she write a book about coffee) Anyway, since i could not find a similarity between me and the gentleman, then i'll go against him. Well, here's the reverse of the saying: If you cannot join the enemy, beat them! hehe
There you go, the battle of the sexes, in which i'm pretty sure is won by mr holmes. Anyhow, i'm so fascinated by his intelligence and coldness. Would such character exist in reality?Sherlock Holmes Versus Me
