So I when I went to write this week's recommended reading I realized that I was drawing a blank. I haven't read anything great this month and am planning on going to the library tomorrow to pick up some new gems. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been on my to-read list for awhile now but for some reason I am still hesitant. I have heard conflicting reviews. Any thoughts on this? Is it worth it? Any suggestions for me to check out this weekend?

Weekend Reading?

I think "So Much Pretty" by Cara Hoffman is a much better read than "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." But sometimes it's good to keep up with cultural phenomena. Dragon starts out kind of dull but picks up. There's a lot of violence against women depicted.
Have you read "Olive Kitteridge?" It's very good.
My son has this book in his room. It's calling my name. I'm afraid to read it - afraid it will be a page turner and keep me up nights. And the violence won't help matters. So I'm waiting for a vacation one day. And now curious about So Much Pretty.
"So Much Pretty"... that will be my new read! :)
I've not read or even peeked into Larsson's books. Tattoos scare me. LOL
