I read it...I liked The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I read it for a book club early in 2010, otherwise I probably wouldn't have picked it up. I don't usually read books that are like that. It gets pretty dark by the end of it and turns into one of those I-can't-put-it-down-because-I-need-to-know-what-happens-even-though-this-is-highly-disturbing books. It's definitely not my favorite book ever, but it's good for what it is. I read the second book in the series when I finished my semester because I needed a no brainer book to flip through. I'll probably read the third one just so I can finish up the series.<br /><br />Oh man, that would have been awesome if Foer came to your library. I'm really looking forward to reading more of his stuff, especially is book about vegetarianism. <br /><br />I hear you on quality over quantity. I can't decide if all the stuff I've been reading for classes is quality or just quantity. Haha, I kid. I kid.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08097694304434516881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782972371396442978.post-16916505679194771472010-12-26T00:06:42.221-05:002010-12-26T00:06:42.221-05:00What did you think of The Girl with the Dragon Tat...What did you think of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? I tried to read it back in July and couldn't get into it. I think all the fuss put me off it.<br /><br />The library was fussing over Johnathan Safran Foer a few months ago when his name was thrown around for a possible community read, and then admin found out how much his fee was and his name was duly scratched off the list. (They ended up selecting The Book Thief.)<br /><br />Also 13 is not that bad a number! It's better than last year when I read nine. Books are tricky things, because sometimes reading one means a great lot more than reading one hundred.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127138043675417803noreply@blogger.com
