The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: Book 1 of the Millennium Trilogy (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
Had trouble getting into it the first time. Started over 11/14/11.[11/30/11]
After I restarted, I was able to finish it. After the first tedious financial bit, it was quite good. Gripping, fast moving plot. Unusual and quite fascinating characters. Interesting introduction to Swedish history and culture.
