Which names/ titles do we happen to have in common? Curious.

I remember exactly the very 1st time my older cousin introduced me to Sherlock Holmes stories - it was 'The case of the Boscomb valley'. I was over excited! So many good memories.

I am truly happy to hear the flame is still in you.
Reading is so much fun! ofc, there are good books and mediocre ones.
Rn I am reading Çaptain Alatriste'series by Peres-Reverte.
What I am supposed to enjoy especially is not the story line but the certain sort of Old Classic Spanish Language, haha... but I am not convincced I like it -- it is too... It's too 'pathetic and ornated' to my taste. I prefer things simpler. Spanish is one of the most beautiful languages ​​in the world! And I really regret I can't read/understand songs lyrics in Spanish.

Perhaps now the time has come for modern literature?
I would recommend you the novels of Viktor Pelevin. He's not a science fiction writer at all - he is much more; he's a very intellectual and he has a gift of dark vision — he can see very well the abyss our world is heading toward, and in his stories displays some terrible shapes of our possible future. I can name specific books, if you wanna go with this.
