This is a thread where you can post about any good books
and/or authors.
I have just completed The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards.
A very powerful wonderfully writtien book

That one is very popular indeed. There is a
2 month waiting list for it at the local libary.
I would love to see the movie but I
want to read the book first.
Yay! A speech bubble

It will have to be a very good movie to improve on the Swedish original, but I think it has a chance with David Fincher at the helm as long as they cast the right Lisbeth.
Apparently there are about 300 pages written of a 4th book, but it is currently locked away due to various legal disputes about the publishing rights. Not sure if it will ever see the light of day. Apparently its possible it could be finished by a close friend of Larsson's who helped him on the the other 3 books, but given the legal issues I am nio sure it will ever happen.
But if I was you I would definately read all thress books. It's a great story and reading only Tattoo you are missing out on a whole other depth / level in the story of Lisbeth.

High Fidelity spoke to me as I didn't think any book could. and his latest, Juliet Naked, is a winner.
I'm reading fever pitch at the moment, and it's promising so far
