O Henry and Arthur Conan Doyle

You might like his "Professor Challenger" stories as well. I'm not sure if they are short stories or full novels though. It's quite a long time since I read them.

I didn't know that. Actually I don't know much about his life. When most people hear his name they probably think about the books about Sherlock Holmes. That is was also the first thing that I thought about in past, but by a coincidence I discovered that he had written some short horror stories as well. I haven't read all of them, but I think that some of them are very good. I wasn't able to predict how the the stories were going to end and there were often a twist at the end. I love stories that are able to surprice me that way. I recently borrowed a book that contains some of his short stories and I look forward to reading them.

I haven't heard about the "Professor Challenger" stories, but I will check the database of the library next time I visit the site

I have never read O Henry at school, but I discovered him on my own and I started reading his stories. Some of his stories have been translated to my local language and at the library I was able to find a book that contained many of the his stories. I enjoyed reading his stories and last time I read them was a couple of years ago.

I am glad you were able to enjoy his works. My father read to me every night which in turn taught me to read before I even went to school, it opened up a whole new world to me where I could read about far off places.

For a city only about 200 years old, its had a LOT of history going on. Being a state capital doesn't hurt...

I love him O Henry's stories, but I don't know much about his life or the places where he lived. A twist as the end sounds interesting. Your city sounds a bit like the city where I was born. The fairytale writer Hans Christian was born in that city and a lot of places are named after him. They are very proud of him I have read the Sherlock Holmes series by Doyle when I was younger. I collected his books at the time, but I don't have them anymore. I was surpriced when I discovered that he had written books as well and I found his short stories by a coincidence, but I like them a lot.

I have also read the Sherlock Holmes series. I collected his books when I was younger and I enjoyed his stories a lot. I was surpriced when I discovered that he had also written some horror stories, because I thought that all of his books belonged to detective fiction. At the moment I am reading some of his short stories and I would like to read the Sherlock Holmes series again when I finish the short stores. I have read them, but it was many years and I don't remember the details from the stories.

That's nice to know. I might look up some of these horror stories by Doyle. And also some the works of O' Henry. Thanks!

I read the books about Sherlock Holmes when I was younger. I collected his books at that time and I enjoyed his stories. I was surpriced when I discovered that he had written other stories as well. I found some of those stories by a coincidence when I bought a book full of short stories and I really liked his other stories. They often had supricing endings and I love books that are able to surprice me that way. I would like to read the rest of his short stories, but I am not sure that they have been translated to my language. I love O Henry's books, too. I think that he was a great writer.

I also love O Henry's stories. The first story I read was "The gift of the magi". At that time I didn't know his other stories at all, but I really liked "The gift of the magi" and I decided to find some of of his other stories as well. At my local library they have a book that contains a collection of O Henry's short stories. I have read that book several times. I would like to buy my own copy of that book, but it was published many years ago and it is not longer available in the book shops. I hope to find it in the a second hand book shop one day I am happy to hear that I have inspired you to add new books to your reading list. I recently finished a book that contained some of the horror stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. My favourite stories are "The new catacomb" and "The Brazilian cat" because of the twists at the end of the stories. Both stories really surpriced me and I love stories that are able to surprice me that way.

I have read a few stories by Edgar Allen Poe, and I liked them a lot. He is a great writer, and I would be interested in the reading the rest of his stories as well. I have never heard about Julio Cortazar, but I looked him up on the internet when I had read your response. I am going to search the database of my local library. I am not sure if he has been translated to Danish, but the English versions of his books would also be fine. I am happy to hear that you also loved O Henry and Conan Doyle. I enjoyed their stories very much.

I looked up "The third ingredient" when I had read your response, because I didn't recognize the title, and I think that is one of the stories that I haven't read. I will try to find that story. I also think that O Henry is awesome. I started readong his stories by coincidence, but I really like them and I would like to read the stories that I haven't read yet.

I was surpriced to discover that Arthur Conan Doyle had written other stories as well. I have read the Sherlock Holmes stories when I was younger and those stories used to be the first thing that I thought about when I heard his name. When I was in Vietnam I bought a book that contained a lot of horror stories written by different authors and one of those authors was Arhur Conan Doyle. I thought that his short stories were some of the best short stories in that book, and I got interested in reading other short stories by him. At my local library I found a collection of his short stories and I borrowed that one, but I don't think that the rest of his stories have been translated to Danish so I would have to look for the English versions online if I want to read the rest of them.
