One down, 33 to go…
I finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last night. I picked it up when I got into bed intending to just read a few chapters but I got sucked into reading it through to the end. I finished it partly because there’s some disturbing subject matter and I didn’t particularly want to turn off the lights and go to sleep with those images in my head. It was definitely an engrossing book and certainly not the type of fiction I usually enjoy. It was a nice departure, though & I’m glad it was recommended by two of my trusted book buddies. I wasn’t crazy about it when I started it but Shannon promised me that it would get really good. It took about 150 pages but she was right - it got really good. I think that’s a lot to ask for - 150 pages before you get hooked, but after reading Lonesome Dove and having to wait about 150 pages before it got AMAZING, I have a lot more patience and faith in the long literary buildup.
Now back to THE SHELF to pick my next book - I better get started, only 92 days left!
