The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, deceased 2004, a mystery set in Sweden. What a book! Am now starting The Girl Who Played With Fire by the same author. Will then go on to the last in the series, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.

PS I'M Trying to do this with a virtual keyboard, and I'm not sure I mastered the technique yet
I'm listening to the first, Outlander, based on its popularity here. Great concept and parts have been hard to set aside to get back to real life obligations but I've got to say, I'm no prude and I like a good love/sex scene now and then but for awhile there I thought I was going to quit reading it if it didn't move on past all the sexual encounters. Is there more to this book or is that it over and over and over again?
Also, are all the books in the series about the same characters, Claire and Jamie?

If you are looking for some light hearted reading and an out loud chuckle, I highly recommend Janet Evanovich. There are now 18 books that follow on from one another. It's about a female bounty hunter. These books are so funny and the ideal pool/beach/pick me up book. Hope you enjoy the read.
