I've never read a novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and I want to read ONE. So, since I'll only be reading a single book, I figure it should involve Sherlock and Watson. Which Sherlock Holmes novel would you suggest?
They come one book, one story, right? If collections of stories are best, which story within the collection would you suggest?

Actually my favorite Conan Doyle book is The Lost World (I love Dinos!)! The Holmes short stories are great because you can do them in a sitting, but if you want to read one of the longer ones, the must-read is the Hound of the Baskervilles....
Enjoy!

Yes, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a good one. Also, the short stories are a lot of fun--my father had a book with the collected stories that I read when I was younger. His medical mind lent great authenticity to the stories. Whatever you can read of Doyle, do!
