A Study in Scarlet

The votes are in an we'll be reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story, the novel A Study in Scarlet.  And as mentioned in our previous post, the meeting will be on Sunday October 16th at 11:30am.

Now, as older members know, if there's a movie that has been based on the book we're reading oftentimes we'll watch it.  There are no faithful film adaptations of this novel (according to wikipedia; if you know otherwise feel free to correct me), however the first episode of the 2010 BBC series Sherlock--which was mentioned briefly in our last meeting--A Study in Pink, is a loose adaptation of the novel, and retains many of its core elements.  The episode is 90 minutes long and can pretty much stand alone.  It's set in modern times, stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, and is pretty awesome.  I was thinking it might be a fun addition to our meeting to watch it together, but it might not be up everyone's alley, so let's put it to a vote.  Have your say on the blog poll by Sunday at 4:00pm.
