katikatWent shopping and bought Wimbledon (with James McAvoy!) for 3 bucks, Iron Man 2 for 5 bucks and the whole Steve Carella film trilogy with Dale Midkiff for 10 bucks! And Richard Castle's Naked Heat. All in Czech! *bounces*
But! The most awesome find?
Rudolf Čechura's anthology Dr. Sherlock Holmes v Čechách a jiné případy (Dr. Sherlock Holmes in Bohemia and other cases). How awesome is that? Holmes stories written by a Czech author. Lovely! *_*
Yesterday, reading Doyle's His Last Bow, I came across the short story The Bruce-Partington Plans - yes, it's the short story on which the subplot of Sherlock's episode The Great Game was based. But! What really got me was this part:
Told from Watson's POV, of course. I wonder if Doyle wrote these stories with the idea of Holmes being in love with Watson after all - hey, Doyle was the one who never abandoned Oscar Wilde, even after Wilde was arrested! - but that was as far as he dared to go in expressing it...

[Holmes] sprang up and shook me by the hand.
"I knew you would not shrink at the last," said he, and for a moment I saw something in his eyes which was nearer to tenderness than I had ever seen. The next instant he was his masterful, practical self once more.
