This is nearly impossible. The simple task was to record everything I read for a year or so, but here it is October and not a word written about September and lord only knows what I read.

Most recently I've been sucked into the reading zeitgeist that is Stieg Larsson's 'Girl with a Dragon Tattoo' series - first two books. My neighbour, my book guru (Wayne) and finally Alison all recommended these books, so what could I do? Perfect airport bookshop purchase. A few forests have been written about this series so what can I add: I loved book 1, was pissed off by book 2 but will wrench book 3 from Wayne's hands at the first possible moment. They're gripping thrillers, populated with a very odd heroine - Lisbeth Salander - and a supporting cast of pragmatic Swedes. I especially enjoyed the Swedishness of the books, like an unfamiliar flavour of tea.
