Reading Skills

            I have recently been reading The Complete Sherlock Holmes (its really long)  The plethora of stories time after time never stop to amaze me.  I'm always wondering whats gonna happen next and always trying to find the constant clues hidden throughout the text.  Currently there are a lot of things going on but the main conflict is that there is what appears to be a mystical wolf killing members of a certain prosperous family in a certain area and i believe that it is just going to be rivals of the family trying to create a panic in the area and take possession of the family's wealth.  I feel that throughout the book Watson feels rather clueless to what his friend is up to and what is going on at times, sometimes i feel like this in real life.  Also i see that the plot of the adventures are very similar to those in modern times, I believe that they took inspiration from Sherlock Holmes.  Also the mysteries are very similar at times to the present times in the fact that they sometimes bring in foreigners and often revenge.
