I just started learning japanese. Can any recommend any good books?

Your textbook will be a good place to start

If you want to read books written in Japanese,visit "Aozora bunko"
 http://www.aozora.gr.jp/ where you can download thousands of free e-texts.

You can find 15 titles of Arthur Conan Doyle were translated in Japanese.

Project Gutenberg have English e-texts of the same author.
