    Performance
    Story

    A Study in Scarlet (novel; 1887)

    The Sign of the Four (novel; 1890)

    The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (short stories, published in The Strand between July, 1891 and December, 1892):

    A Scandal in Bohemia
    The Red-Headed League
    A Case of Identity
    The Boscombe Valley Mystery
    The Five Orange Pips
    The Man with the Twisted Lip
    The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
    The Adventure of the Speckled Band
    The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb
    The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
    The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
    The Adventure of the Copper Beeches

    From what I can tell from a quick internet search, Volume 1 of this audiobook covers the Holmes cannon faithfully from the first. I'm eager to start Volume 2 to see if the coverage will be as comprehensive.

    I liked Charlton Griffin's Sherlock and Dr. Watson, but I didn't like his portrayal of any of the female characters (they sounded so wimpy and foolish, even when they were written otherwise).

    I read several of the short stories, out of order, years ago. Listening to this audiobook to "read" the cannon from start to finish is great because I can follow the character development of Homles and Watson, and their relationship.

    First appearing in print in 1890, the character of Sherlock Holmes has now become synonymous worldwide with the concept of a super sleuth. His creator, Conan Doyle, imbued his detective hero with intellectual power, acute observational abilities, a penchant for deductive reasoning and a highly educated use of forensic skills. Indeed, Doyle created the first fictional private detective who used what we now recognize as modern scientific investigative techniques.

  • Holidays on Ice: Featuring Six New Stories

    "Add a touch of Bitter to your Holid..."

    4 of 4 helpful votes

    What a tradition-- right up there with "It's a Wonderful Life," "A Christmas Carol," and "Christmas Vacation".
    Many Christmas stories are sugar sweet, but, if you like a little spice with your sweet, include David Sedaris in your yearly holiday experience. "The Christmas Elf' is one of the funniest, most irreverent, and most memorable of listens.
    Sedaris may not be for everyone, but if you sometimes appreciate the cynical side of holiday cheer, try this.
    And do it for his absolutely unique, creakie little voice!

    David Sedaris's beloved holiday collection is new again with six more pieces, including a never before published story. Along with such favorites as the diaries of a Macy's elf and the annals of two very competitive families, are Sedaris's tales of tardy trick-or-treaters ("Us and Them"); the difficulties of explaining the Easter Bunny to the French ("Jesus Shaves"); and what to do when you've been locked out in a snowstorm ("Let It Snow").

    Arthur Conan Doyle never wasted time in getting his stories moving. His plots are always direct and refreshingly lucid, and the narrative has a velocity that sweeps you along right to the end. This was no doubt a large part of his immense worldwide success. Not surprisingly, each time he tried to end the series, his fans would howl in protest. But, as he says in the preface to his last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, all good things must come to an end.

    It was a name that caused the most hardened gunmen to break out in a cold sweat: Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie. Pursuing the most wanted men in the Southwest, he knew all too well the dusty trails, the bitter cattle feuds, the desperate killers, and the quiet, weather-beaten towns that could explode into mayhem with the wrong word. He had sworn to carry out the law, but there were times when he had to apply justice with his fists and his guns.

    William Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965) took his reading material quite seriously. He said, "When I read a book, I seem to read it with my eyes only. But now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me." Maugham's work has certainly become a part of millions of his fans today. To judge by his short story masterpieces, it was in the tiny crevasses and pinched corners of humanity that Maugham illuminated those elemental qualities that were to fascinate him all his life.

    One of the most important and blazingly original writers of his generation, George Saunders is an undisputed master of the short story, and Tenth of December is his most honest, accessible, and moving collection yet. In the taut opener, "Victory Lap", a boy witnesses the attempted abduction of the girl next door and is faced with a harrowing choice: Does he ignore what he sees, or override years of smothering advice from his parents and act? In "Home", a combat-damaged soldier moves back in with his mother and struggles to reconcile the world he left with the one to which he has returned.

For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness.

    Venturers are those who seek excitement, unpredictability and chance in life. Forster is one such venturer, but finds his life in New York too boringly predictable. But when he meets Ives, the latter suggests they dine in a posh hotel together although neither has any money with them, and then toss a coin to see which of them will bear the consequences when they are unable to pay. The escapade turns out to have consequences which neither of them could have predicted.

    "Tales from the Dew Drop Inne reads like a darkly humorous sitcom. The tone is both heartfelt and deliciously irreverent, showing that one does not need to hate humanity to appreciate the humor of life. Here are tales of drifters, alcoholics, religious renegades, veterans, and drag queens set in pub that is at once a confessional, a circus, and a psychiatric hospital."

    The hypnotically intimate, urgent stories in I Want to Show You More are about lives stretched between spirituality and sexuality in the New American South. In narrative modes ranging from the traditional to the fabulist, these stories are interconnected explorations of God, illicit sex, raising children and running. Jamie Quatro’s stories confront us with dark theological complexities, fractured marriages, and mercurial temptations.

    "Det är så att min far gick bort nyligen. Och skorna var en del av det han lämnade efter sig. Och jag har som sagt aldrig sett dem förr. Det är ett par ljusblå mockaskor. Damskor. Storlek 36. Aldrig använda. Jag begriper inte var min far fått tag på dem. Eller vad han tänkt sig att jag skulle göra med dem." Det här är en ljudnovell från Novellix, inläst av författaren själv. Novellix ger ut nyskrivna noveller av svenska författare, skådespelare och musiker.

    "När Farsan dricker kaffe och läser annonserna om bilar och jakthundsvalpar i tidningen sitter Sandra bredvid och dinglar med benen och doppar sockerbitar från kopparasken i hans kaffekopp. Ibland lutar hon örat mot blå tutt-tanten på hans överarm. En sån där skulle man allt ha haft, säger Farsan och pekar på nåt bra där i tidningen. Jo du stinta, hä vore nanteng hä! och Sandra mm-ar med sockerbitar som smular i hela munnen. Mm. Ibland säger hon nästan ja."

    Mammalia är en stark novell om makt och kvinnlig vänskap. När den unga journalisten Sara möter den äldre och excentriska konstnären Mona vänds hennes värld upp och ner. På kort tid växer en intensiv vänskap fram men Sara börjar allt mer tappa bort sig själv och förmågan att se vad som är viktigt i livet. "Där kunde det ha tagit slut. "Än sedan", tänkte jag. "Än sedan". Jag kände mig tydligen inte särskilt berörd. Det gick ett par veckor utan något livstecken från Mona.

    "Mamma brukade tona ner Darias framgångar för mig, hon visste att det var känsligt. Det var därför hon sa det lite i förbifarten, från köket, som om det inte var något märkvärdigt, samtidigt som hon kände sig tvungen att bjuda med mig så jag inte skulle känna mig exkluderad. Ystad konstmuseum. Vid 27 års ålder. Jag var inte i närheten av att få ställa ut på konstmuseum."

Det är en skildring av arbetslivets villkor, där vi möter praktikanten Karin som genomlider sin första dag på jobbet och får ett inte helt lätt uppdrag... Bengt Ohlsson är författare och krönikör, bland annat för DN. Sedan debuten 1984 har han skrivit ett tiotal böcker och belönades 2004 med Augustpriset för romanen Gregorius.
