The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo...

[Brock Vond]

Heard there was an outline for like 5 - 6 but three were completed.  Last
one is something about like Castles in the Sky... And the English title
would be something like Girl Who Kicked the Wasps Nest...

I thought it was really good too, but I guess I didn't catch any hype... I
did see a web ad, and come to think of it... Can't remember too many web ads
for books.  

I didn't even calculate what the conversation rate means for my expense.  I
think I paid like 16 pounds... $30??  Like I said, Irresponsible.

I did want to get it sooner because I wanted to get it out of the way so I
can enjoy The Kindly Ones.

Anyone else can't wait for The Kindly Ones?
