Back in the old...I love everything you said here. <br /><br />Back in the olden days, in the early 1980's when dinosaurs roamed the earth, there was a pair of competing sayings/philosophies/buttons in Star Trek fandom; FIAWOL (Fandom Is A Way Of Life) and FIJAGH (Fandom Is Just A Goddamned Hobby). I still prefer the first, because it was and is true for me (even though I'm not as active as when I was younger), and also because it's easier to pronounce the acronym.<br /><br />Korina, elderly fan (formerly Fan) and forever SherlockianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-75180288537435510332015-07-22T01:02:28.377-05:002015-07-22T01:02:28.377-05:00Beautifully written.

Made me pause and ask myself what being a Sherlockian my way meant.<br /><br />Turns out that while I love the thrill of the stories and the deductions a lot, I am also fascinated by the umpteen inspirational/personal growth based lessons in the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels.<br /><br />When I read the quote about 'the rose' in The Naval Treaty or about the importance of 'little things' in A Case of Identity or that quote about revenge in The Cardboard Box, I'm like: Wow, that's so true.<br /><br /> I LOVE those moments when Sherlock Holmes makes me think about my own life...<br /><br />'Life lessons from Sherlock Holmes' - is the book I might write one day I guess.Meghashyam Chirravoorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08201602512204610407noreply@blogger.com
