Man, I don't know, I don't know. I am kind of interested in looking at E. W. Hornung's A. J. Raffles books, which are also on Gutenberg. I am interested in these because there's a bit of overlap between the fandom for these and the fandom for Sherlock Holmes, for the simple reason that A. J. Raffles is essentially bizzaro Sherlock Holmes, a prestigious cricket-playing high-society gentleman thief, as opposed to a bohemian society-shunning drug-using detective.

And the stories, for that added flavour of insanity, were written by Arthur Conan Doyle's brother-in-law, I shit you not.

Haven't read them. I have heard good things of them, though, and intend to try.
