Great stories. The third one is on it's way from Amazon tomorrow.

Worthy note since it is a tragic loss for literature.

Quote:

At his death, Larsson left the manuscripts of three completed but unpublished novels in a series. He wrote them for his own pleasure after returning home from his job in the evening, making no attempt to get them published until shortly before his death.

Quote:

Stieg Larsson will be sorely missed by all of us in the international anti-fascist network, Antifa-Net, who had the unforgettable privilege to know him, work with him and debate with him.

He was also a shy and very modest person who made enormous sacrifices for the anti-fascist cause and asked for so little in return.

With his warmth, intellectual clarity and remarkable personal courage, Stieg made an incalculable contribution to anti-fascism, the Left and the cause of a better, more humanistic and more equal world. His death is a terrible blow to all of us. We have collectively lost a comrade and a friend. His record as an internationalist – especially his work in the international anti-fascist movement but also long before that – will never be forgotten.

Antifa-Net, sends its deepest condolences, sympathy and solidarity to Expo at this very sad time.

Salud! Stieg

Filled with pulpy goodness. 'Smoke Jensen', the main character, once subdued Chuck Norris with a throaty belch.

... It's a book, isn't it? Rather long-winded title, but, well.. It's the best book that I've ever read!

Oh dear heavens! How can you read the middle book first???

The story through the three books is such that you really need to read them in order! There are things that happen in the first book that help the context in the second and third.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-just read the first one and loved it..have been recommending it to everyone pretty much ad nauseum. Have purchased the second one and will start reading as soon as I finish Nomad, the follow up to Infidel.

It seems like the kind of book I would like to read.

I am glad you liked the Stieg Larsson books. It is a pleasure to find well written contemporary fiction.

Like Wolf said, book #1 will tie in the events of book #2.

I read Pillars of the Earth last year, and am now reading a pseudo sequel, World Without End. It's set in the same town, but 200 years later, and the characters form the first book are only referred to occasionally. Ken Folet is a good author.

I've read Pillars Of The Earth once long ago then recently. I have World Without End in my book list. I hope it is good as the first.

I am still making my way through the Stackhouse novels. I have yet to see a True Blood episode.

The Dispossessed - Ursula K. LeGuin for an online bookclub ... and I ended up as the discussion leader.

Robot Dreams - Isaac Asimov on loan from a friend.

American Gods - Neil Gaiman for the fantasy division of the same online bookclub, I'll not volunteer again so soon for leader responsibilities. This is a reread for me.

American Gods peaked my interest after reading Neverwhere.
I have not put it on my book list. How is it?
