I am currently reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and it is awesome! It starts slowly, but once you get into it, it is hard to put down. Also, I recently discovered Christopher Buckley. He's hilaroius! I read "Losing Mum and Pup", and it was fantastic, very funny, and touching, and sad at the same time.

You can never go wrong with Tom Robbins. I'd nominate Jitterbug Perfume as his best. /nt |
