I've been away far too long from the blog and the reason is I've been reading. I got completely sucked into "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo." I've been aching for a book that I couldn't put down and when I saw the movie trailer for the GWDT, I decided to head to the library and pick it up.
It was so good. I breezed through the 600 page book and was ready for more. Luckily its a trilogy. The sneaky author starts the next book at the end of books one and two so the story just keeps going. I have been unable to do anything else until all three 600 page books were read! It has been making me a little mental since my children see me sitting nicely and have a million demands for anything to constantly interrupt. I ended up staying up late and reading which results in me feeling kind of hung over the next day without having a single drop of alcohol. I am so old but who cares I finally know the end! Life can resume.
The writing itself is not anything exceptional and the books don't seem to get really going until you are about 200 pages in BUT the story is so good! Now, I really want to go to Stockholm (setting of the book) and run a marathon. Marathons have nothing to do with the book, its just like a bucket list thing for me that I'd like to run at least one marathon and why not be in an exotic place when I do it. Stockholm in the spring perhaps....
