Reading material.

If you haven’t already gents, for your summer reading, may I recommend the trilogy that starts with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Absolutely brilliant stuff. There’s not a book I haven’t been unable to put down for a while and the 2nd and 3rd in this trilogy have been unputdownable. They’re written by the late (great) Stieg Larsson and he was actually in the middle of writing a fourth novel when he passed away prematurely (I think he was only in his forties). The first novel did take some time for me to get into, but once in I was riveted. Highly recommended.
I also read Tess Gerritsen’s Keeper of the Bride (meh!) and her latest The Killing Place (much better). I’m now on David Baldacci’s True Blue and I have also bought Stephen King’s Under the Dome. I was a little reticent about buying it, I don’t feel he’s written a decent novel in years. But the guy in the bookshop assures me it’s as good as The Stand, which I feel was his finest work, so that sold me and the critique on the cover reads well. It’s a hefty book though, so that’ll take some time. And I still have Karin Slaughter’s latest novel to get too.
But if you’re stumped for something to read, read the Millenium trilogy by Stieg Larsson. Honest, you won’t be able to put them down. Btw, the 2nd and 3rd’s way better than the first.
