What do you read for pleasure?
Sherlock Holmes books is the obvious answer, but I love alternative histories and genre crossovers. I'm currently reading the Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman for example, where the premise is that the events in Bram Stoker's Dracula really happened.. except that they failed. It's full of delightful little historical and literary references. The steampunk Burton and Swinburne series by Mark Hodder is another good one, or for a little more historical history I go to the 1632 series by Eric Flint. In fact, even when reading Sherlock Holmes, my favorite stories (outside the Canon) tend to be the ones where he meets a historical or literary figure, or is thrown out of his element into a sci-fi or supernatural setting.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
My husband and I shared an old-school 1st gen. Kindle for a long time, but then I started putting e-reading apps on my phone, and now I mostly use that. It gets the job done.
