I recently finished Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy and just started The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth.
I, too, have just recently re-read Steig Larsson's Millenium trilogy (and still love it; Lisbet Salander is one of the most original protagonists I have come across in a long time)
I don't know if there was a translation problem, but with all the elements of a thriller, I thought it could have been more thrilling.However I thought the 2nd and 3rd books got better and I finished them. I've watched the two original Swedish (subtitled) movies, which were ok. I'm wondering how the Daniel Craig movie will compare?
Loved it.
Reading The Edge by Jeffrey Deaver.
I just finished The Stars My Destination a SciFi book written in the 1950s. If feels like 1950's SF, introduces the notion of "jaunting" but is also an example of where in one specific instance, real technology has exceeded science fiction imagination. However, despite this, it is a good read and includes a terrific ending.
Only about a 1/4th of the way through "The Burning Wire", but as usual with a Lincoln Rhyme book I'm enjoying it. So far I've only read Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series, but one of these days (probably more like years) when I get caught up with my "to be read" pile(s) I'd like to try some of his other books.
You should read The Demolished Man too, if you like Alfred Bester.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
It's great so far, the writing is really beautiful.
