Re: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest....Larsson
I am so with you. I'm actually reading a Janet Evonavich book right now just to bring my spirits up. I actually got a chance to read the first Larsson book and thought it was sort of weird.

If they are above the Mason Dixion line then they are called Yankees. I was born in Virginia and moved up north and everyone was a Yankee to me.

Okay, a little confession time for me right about now. The Non-fiction books that they picked is Evolution of God by Robert Wright. The Fiction book is the Tin Drum by Gunter Grass.
