You might like the Sherlock Holmes pastiches that he reads aloud :).

Well, in the first encounter his character was, you know, taken by surprise and not the initiator, and it was angry grieving sex for her. After that I found it... tender and sweet rather than hot. I think that he has way more chemistry with John (not Mycroft, sorry) and with his best friend in Third Star than he does with Yasim. I haven't seen Parade's End yet - worth Netflixing?
