I'm 50, live in Austin, Texas but am a Northern California native and my heart still belongs there. I spend a lot of my time quilting, cooking, reading and working on my house. I've been keeping track for about ten years of all the books that I read. I had been writing comments but life got in the way and I need to start doing that again.

The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson

This is a great book. Earlier this year I read his book called The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I had seen this author mentioned on a lot of reading lists and had heard good things. The name of the book put me off for some reason but it is a great read. Good story line, suspenseful and the characters are great. The Girl Who Played with Fire is just as good as the first one. There is another book in the series coming out next year called The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. They are all set in Stockholm as the writer is Swedish, the translation is excellent. Sadly, these will be the only books we will see from this author. He turned in all three manuscripts in 2004 and died a short time later from a heart attack.
