Those bloggers got a bit narky too didn't they? :lol:

I just want to see Noomi as Lisbeth again. Yum. :)P
I hope the factions fighting over Larsson's estate can come to some agreement over the completion and release of the rest of his legacy. Soon.

Checked out the local Waterstones Top Twenty bestselling books while down town. The Larsson trilogy (all three) are still in, LTROI has shot back to number two slot (Probably on the back of promotion for ''Let Me In'') and there are four Jo Nesbø novels as well. He is being pushed as ''the next Stieg Larsson'' (according to the labels on the books. Shameless name checking by the publishers if you ask me). I'm struggling with ''The Devil's Star'', not that it isn't good but I have problems with the MC being an alcoholic ace detective. Those two attributes just don't seem to fit together well. But anyway for Scandinavian writers to have 40% of the fiction top 20 sales is peculiar.

Perhaps if I change my name to Snapsieg Långstrump I'll stand a better chance of getting published. :Y

You might be on to something there Snapsie..... oops, sorry, Snapseig.
All you need now are a few indecipherable Sverige words to slip into the title and you've got it made. *:)*

Not to mention a good portrait for the back page.

That's so sad, and tragic, housefire and all.

I thought he was very good as Sally's former guardian Holger.
