    That is so interesting - I had no idea about Stieg Larsson. It's such a shame that the publishers changed the title - that's why I love Europe so much, they take it all in. It's a shame that it almost has to be "dumbed down" for America. America is so prude. I don't want to start ranting or anything, but I wish all publishers would leave the author's original work - it's irritating when they don't :)

    I'll let you know when I finish the book! I'm anxious to hear how you feel about the 2nd one that you're reading! -Jim

    Hi Edu!
    Wow - I am so jealous that you are getting the new book so soon! You'll have to let me know how you like it!

    I am really enjoying The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo! The first 40 pages or so were tough for me to get through (not sure if there was an over abundance of detail or just trying to relate to the characters), but once Salander was introduced, the plot took off for me. I'm not finished yet, but so far I am really enjoying it! Stieg Larsson is a very interesting author. I had never heard of him until a friend gave me The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo for my birthday. I like his style of writing. I have never been to Sweden, Norway, Finland, etc., but I love the descriptions and locations. It makes me want to visit on my next trip to Europe!

    I'm looking forward to reading more of Larsson. Sounds like you enjoyed it? Interesting title - I wonder why he changed it! -Jim
