Hi everybody! I'm an new member so thought id add my own top ten books that iv'e read in the past year!
1.The Girl Who Played With Fire - Stieg Larrson (brilliantly written Blomkvist is my man crush haha)
2.The Road - Cormac McCarthy (bleak and depressing post-apocalyptic fiction that worked amazingly and showed the human spirit and resolve)
3.Red Riding - 1977 (the only un-filmed book but by the best and grittiest the 2nd book of the quadrilogy but the best)
4.No Country For Old Men - Cormac McCarthy (an awesome exploration of what makes a man!)
5.American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis (Again an amazing study into the psychology of the human mind a must for people who enjoy completely sick, gritty and disturbed human beings)
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
in Crime / Mystery / Thriller

Have to admit the I will always prefer the swedish subbed films to the hollywood version mainly because they were financed by yellow bird who also created Wallander as well (which was an amazing series).
In my opinion the danger with the Hollywood version is the possibility that the relationship between Blomkvist and Salander will be hollywood-ised and have all the subtlety removed.
