Well, this one is really out of the ordinary for me, but a young neighbor of mine kept touting the work until I borrowed it from her. Interesting concept as a father spends a weekend with the Holy Trinity at a shack where it is believed his youngest daughter was murdered. God invites him to join them.
Don't quite know how to explain Young's work, but The Shack certainly brings up every question I think most of us have ever had, relative to God, Jesus, and the Spirit. I've read the book in less than a day, with about 20 pages to go. The weekend at the shack gives the father closure, and lets him begin life anew, and sure has me 'pondering.' Fun read in that in a lot of ways it reminds me of What Dreams May Come.
Do read "fire" Salander's character becomes more developed, and my understanding is that Larsson was deeply involved in issues of mysogony and abuse of women, and that is certainly reflected in his work.
Ordered the paperback, due to be released the end of March! I really like this Lisabeth Salander, and have enjoyed reading about the author himself these past several days. Interesting life he led.
I was housebound this weekend because of a cold so I read THE DISCIPLE by Stephen Coonts. A very good military thriller with the Jake Grafton and Tommy Cramellini characters. After I finished it I started reading TRIAL by James Patterson. So far I am really into the story. I have a feeling I will be taking it to bed with me tonight and falling asleep to it.
I finally finished The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It's the story of a search for Dracula that spans several centuries, but most of it takes place in the 20th century. I wanted to love it, but I only liked it, because it's too long. The beginning is good and the end is satisfying, but the middle drags and drags.
