the girl w...


Not many things can beat a weekend with a good book over a delicious cuppa and scone. And this is turning into a routine since coming back from Malaysia, seeking peace... and seeking good coffee :)

It becomes even better when Lisbeth Salander's story came into my hands. The stories are fully sick, but not even close to be as interesting and engaging as the girl's character itself. In that accord, the leading male character looses out by a hundred miles ^_^ But I'm only half way through the trilogy, lets see if Kalle Blomqvist can live up to Salander's standard in the remaining 1.5 books :)

Also important to myself personally, it is based in modern Sweden, the Sweden that colours two parchments full of my life, if life can be recorded into parchments that represent each year passed by. The resonance it created within me is therefore likely to be more severe...

The Millennium Trilogy - "The girl with the dragon tattoo", "The girl who played with fire" and "The girl who kicked the hornet's nest" by the late Stieg Larsson. Disturbing and extremely addictive as one's darker inner self can almost relate to most of the dangerous stories being told...
