I'd never have believed in advance that the most compelling fictional character I'd come across in a decade would be a semi-autistic, bisexual, violent, body-pierced and multi-tattooed girl genius.

How would you not be drawn to a book about such a character?

Ah I dunno - wouldn't really be my home territory!

Don't worry Zap, no spoilers there.

Yes - a great trilogy, excellently written. I haven't enjoyed a mystery thriller as much in a long time. Looking forward to the films as soon as herself has finished the books.

Agree with that, have read the first two and gonna start the third next week, can't wait. Saw the first Swedish film as well, decent effort but not as good as the book I thought, I suppose they rarely are.

And it all started so brightly for Harry Potter.

Anyone read 'How the GAA Survived the Troubles ' by Des Fahy? Much use?

Hardy has a fascination with tattoos. He just won't admit it. They're under his skin.

New book in the Dexter series. Dexter is Delicious.
If its like the others it will be great!

Girl With Dragon Tatoo.

Very good. I'm not usually one for crime thrillers but I liked this one. I think it will be a while before I pick up the sequel though, I could get end up tired of Salander which would be a shame. I will get round to them though.


Anyone book club members?
