The Girl Who Played With Fire question?
I just finished The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson (2nd book in the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series) and am about 120 pages into the third book. I have been curious about a follow-up to the hurricane/ 16 year old boy/ man who tried to murder his wife storyline in the beginning of 'Fire'. It was not mentioned once again in the second book, nor in the third so far, and am wondering if this will be brought up later, and if not, then why the author put it in. Please do not tell me any spoilers, am just curious! :-) thank you|||I just recently finished the girl who kicked the hornets nest. And the answer is no, sorry. I think Steig larsson but it the book for a specific reason. The first book rembear was orginally called Men who hate women. We saw that throughtout the book when men in general treated Lisbeth cruelly and unjuistifable. Throught girl who played with fire we see women treated badly but can't do anything about it. Steig showed how the Mr. Forbes could get away with it. Why repeat? We got it.
Also to add more about the boy. He was actually seventeen years old. No more mention of him because rembear Lisbeth has a problem with saying goodbye. And she couldn't get back because people were looking for her. The boy played no rule other than her occasional lover. I think if Stieg were still alive he could bring you this answers and but his insight or add a little more two the other novels. To bad we never know.|||I hope this isn't a spoiler by saying that it doesn't come up in the third book (sorry!) But it doesn't. I think the reason this scene in the second book exists is because the hurricane scene helps develop/bring out Lisbeth's character, in that she's constantly cognisant of domestic violence and will also take risks to save someone she thinks is vulnerable.

The girl with the dragon tattoo?
I started to read the girl with the dragon tattoo by stieg larsson because everyone is talking about how good it is. I am wondering when it will get interesting. All that is happening right now is all this political and trial boring stuff that I don't understand at all. Is the whole book like this or just the first few chapters. If it does get past all that where does the good parts start and could you just tell me a summery or something about what's happening at the beginning. PREFERABLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK PLEASE. Thanks.|||i didnt understand it at first either (im 15) but it doesnt get to the rising action until the end. However, i do recommend that you do not skip over anything, thats lazy and believe me, the back is waaaaay to good not to read and everything somehow fits into the ending so if you skim, youll be lost.
Which books should I read?
I have three books that I have to read for my summer reading list plus more that I want to read for myself
Summer Reading List. Which one should I read?:
1) The Partner - John Grisham
2) The Alchemist - Paul Coelho
3) The Chosen - Chaim Potok
4) Fences - August Wilson
5) The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
For my own personal enjoyment. I will read all but which one should i read first:
1) The Book Thief - Markus Zusak - Stieg Larsson
2) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo -
3) Sh*t My Dad Says - Justin Halpern
Anymore suggestions would be appreciated!|||SR: The Partner, The Alchemist, and The Chosen
I would read The Book Thief first. :]|||I'm going to be honest with, "Tom", you have a really gay summer reading list. Explosions? Intrigue? Action? Weapons? Where are they? What kind of guy are you, anyways?
Go read George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire"|||I would read The Lovely Bones-Alce Sebold / The Chosen-Chaim Potok/ and Fences-August Wilson
For personal reading start with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo|||The first list, well, Grisham is always good. Lovely Bones starts out well, but I didn't really like it by the end.
In the second list, I highly recommend The Book Thief. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is kind of hard to follow in the beginning and the story is very dark. Intriguing and engaging, but very dark.|||From your Summer Reading List, most defiantly Lovely Bones or Alchemist. Both are fantastic reads.
For personal, I wouldn't suggest Dragon Tattoo, but I loved Book Thief.

Does anyone know where I can find a picture of Noomi Rapace's full-length dragon tattoo on her back?
So I'm an artist, and I really want a tattoo. I want to draw an adaptation of Noomi Rapace's dragon tattoo that's on her back for a personal tattoo of my own. The problem is I can't find a decent picture that shows her full-length tattoo.
Noomi Rapace portrays Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish film adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo (" " That Played with Fire, " " " Kicked the Hornet's Nest.)
I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks :D|||yeh google it

Help me!! I can't decide what to read--It's a CRISIS!!?
I can't decide what to read...
So I've got it down to three books:
4th of July by James Patterson. It's the fourth book in a series called "The Women's Murder Club." Really love the series, just finished the third and it left with a cliff-hanger so I really want to get to that one.
Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris. Second book in the True Blood series. Finished the first one, I liked it but didn't love it. I only want to get to through that series to get to the fourth book since I'm ADDICTED to the show. I've heard the new series is going to be based off the fourth book.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. Started reading it two weeks, got about 200 pages through. Started to really enjoy the plot line, I saw how interesting it gets once you get pass the boring intros. I'm also waiting to see the movie until I finish reading the book, which I've been DYING to see.
So, which is the book for me?|||James Patterson, hands down. Better than those two books, definitely.|||Throw a fourth into the ring - it's an ebook, available on Amazon.com or on Smashwords.com, titled On The Rim, by Florida Town. It's had good reviews.|||i think the 4th of july one because james patterson is a very good acter i read alot of her books|||The Hunger Games.

Any recommendations for GOOD mystery/crime fiction (no Evanovich-type stuff)?
I'm looking for some recommendations for good, quality mystery/crime/suspense fiction (series or single books). I love the old stuff like Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle but have read most of their stuff. I'm a lot more picky when it comes to contemporary mystery/crime writers - I really enjoyed Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series and Shades of Grey, and I've just finished Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce books.
I definitely do NOT want something in the vein of Evanovich/Mary Higgins Clark/Patterson/Kellerman, and I absolutely hate anything I've read by Dan Brown.
I'm open to newer stuff or if there are older books in the vein of Christie/Doyle that I haven't checked out yet. No Stieg Larsson - I'm contemplating reading those but not right now.
Thanks!|||Ruth Rendell. I've read every book she's ever written. She's considered the best of mystery writers alive today. Her characters are drawn magnificantly and you will be hard pressed to put a book down once you've started it.
She also writes under the name of Ivy Vine.

HI!!! I read the millenium series and watched the movies and I'm completely FOND of it, I love it so much. All of my friends are into vampires and twilight stuff which I hate, like totally.
I'm so sad that Stieg Larsson is dead, I'm sure he would have wrote lots of other great novels.
I have no one to talk to about my book taste since I'm thirteen and no one my age has read it.
any reviews, comments? liked the book or didn't? are there other people my age who read the books?

I hide who I am, don't know what to do?
Everyone I know thinks I'm a girly, self involved, boy crazed, dumb, 'pretty' girl. It bugs me, but it's sorta my fault. I get honors at school, everyone thinks I'm failing, I love reading comic books and actual books of course I love Stephen King, Stieg Larsson, Jane Austen, and gaming out, drawing watching Star Trek, Dr.Who, Battlestar Galactica, I watch Firefly even though it didn't make it very far :p, When I'm out of highschool [I'm in grade 9] I want to be an engineer for a university.
I have nothing in common with any of my 'friends', I think I'm going to start a fresh slate as me in a new school next semester, I don't know if it's a good idea, but I think I need to show who I am. What would you do? :) Thank-You.|||**** everyone. live your life the way you want. you seem like a great person. keep reading stephen king|||What I would do is come clean to my friends. Tell them who the real me is. If they're real friends they'll accept you for you. If they don't or if you don't want to hang out with them anymore, make new friends with people who have the same interests as you.|||You should never be a shame of who you are.Be your self and let your friend no that you are smart.If they have a problem with that. then they was never your friend and the first place.|||Not everyone's thinking that way. I'm sure your classmates know, and that means, your friends should know too.
No one really talks about grade sin hgih school, just college..|||That's because children are lacking in knowledge and are cruel.
Adults love children so never feel alone.

What would be a written analysis to my poem? please refer to poetic devices..?
I am lonesome of plenty
Small limbs of a broken tree
Always looking to the ones above
For conduction,strength and safety.
One little limb trying
To keep the others from breaking away
Who will fall?
And who will stay?
Now I stand by myself
Looking at the earth through the rain
And I see the broken branches I knew
stray about me in pain.
We always found the way to hide the hurtful mistakes with some super sticker.
And some how ultimately the glue could hold no more.
There are these who have taken an axe
To the root of our very basis
And who have passed this demolition
Down to each recent generation.
If I could pick this axe
I would throw it deep into the lake
Never to come back again
To injure the generations that follow me.
How am I going to care for myself?
I can't even say, 'I've still got my healthiness!'
For too many years, I would sit lonely and weep.
Please Lord I need to know just, how am I?
I am one of many
But I know my life is different
And I know I can't turn back.
But alone I will go
And plant the new seeds
Where a beautiful tree will grow.
i wrote this poem to the book "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" from Stieg Larsson..it should represent the feelings and different phases from Harriet Vanger..and the Vanger Clan in general
what would be a written analysis to my poem?
Thanks in advance

Is the new Millennium movie too disturbing for a 14 year old?
I've read the Millennium trilogy (Stieg Larsson) and I thoroughly enjoyed them, so I'm considering watching the film adaption of it, but is it too disturbing for a 14 year old?
The books (Dragon Tattoo) made me feel a bit queasy at certain scenes, but they didn't bother me too much.
Last time I watched 'The Lovely Bones' I couldn't go to sleep for 4 weeks so...if the violence in the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo movie goes beyond
it, I'll pass.|||If the new David Fincher adaptation is as graphic as the one that was done in Swedish by Niels Arden Oplev I would think that it would be too disturbing for a 14 year old. The Swedish one had a couple of graphic rape scenes, a not so graphic sexual assault scene and a sex scene and a lot of nudity and language. I am used to seeing a lot of disturbing material, but that one was one of the most disturbing things I had ever seen in a movie. I do not know if the American version by Fincher will be as blatant with the rape scenes since I haven't seen it but you might not want to watch it since I think it will definately be more graphic than The Lovely Bones.

I have no idea what this book is!?
Okay, I do have to thank "Cabin fever" for their suggestion of Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr and "Soup" for their suggestion of 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson. Neither book is it though.
Here is the book again: The cover there is this girl...And she has this like dragon fly or something tattooed on her back. The book is about a guy who's a writer and he meets this girl and its like...A horrorish story. The cover looks more drawn and the girls face is faceing the towards you.

Millenium Series... Not printed properly ?
Hi everyone...
I've been reading the millenium series by Stieg Larsson ( the girl who played with fire to be exact) and just bought this book from Chapters Indigo in Canada and threw the bill in the trash, never thinking I'd get this problem...
Heres the deal... I was reading the book and I'm at 100 pages from the end and all the action is starting... I finish one page only to realize the next page doesn't follow the previous... There's 50 pages missing, and it seems like when they printed the book they put in the last chapters twice!
I don't have the bill and the book is now obviously worn ( paperback)... Do you think the bookstore will exchange it anyway??|||The issue isn't going to be that the book is worn - it is clearly not fit for the purpose for which it was sold and never was.
The problem is going to be whether you can convince the book store you bought it from them, and without the receipt that is going to be very difficult. I don't suppose you paid for the book with anything that is traceable, ie credit or debit card? If you did, then the fact that a transaction took place can be traced, (even if it cannot be tied to this particular book) which may make them more sympathetic.
My feeling is that you might have to chalk this one up to experience. Next time keep the bill (I use it as a bookmark) until you have read the book.
Best wishes

How to play subtitles on xbox while watching movies from USB.?
have the Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo Trilogy and I have put it on my USB. Its simpler to watch this way, no having to swap dvds, take out games, or need to take care of the DVD.
The DVD and my file on the USB include, Swedish audio track, English audio track and English subtitles.
I can get it to play on the xbox however, it automatically chooses the English dubs and won't let me switch.
VLC: I can choose any format I want. Only in Swedish, Swedish with English subs, English, and English with subtitles.

Xbox 360 4gb Only plays English dubbed.|||If your Windows media play will only play the English version then the same will apply for the Xbox as that is what it uses to run video/audio media. It's a long shot, but if you wanted to try it you could go into the file you have the movie stored under and find the audio tracks, delete the ones you don't want and see if that will force it to play a certain one. I'm not familiar with the movie, but if it is foreign, and not made for American disc players the codes won't read the same thus limiting your options.
The DVD and my file on the USB include, Swedish audio track, English audio track and English subtitles.

Which book series should I start first?
I purchased several book series (trilogies, box sets etc) today however I can't figure out which to start first. Can anyone tell me which one is best.
Hunger Games
Game of Thrones
Stieg Larsson Millenium Trilogy
Lord of The Rings
Harry Potter Series
BQ: Also, can anyone name any more books or series that are worth a read? It's summer and college is out and I've got three months to kill. (I read fairly quickly, length or subject don't really matter just as long as they're good and not too 'young adult').|||Here are some new series you can read:
Stravaganza by Mary Hoffman.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stravaganza
Inkheart Trilogy by Cornelia Funke.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkheart_tr鈥?/a>
Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Rider
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_Fow鈥?/a>
and some other(not series) books:
Airman by Eoin Colfer
The Supernaturalist by Eoin Colfer
Hope you'll enjoy them!
(Sorry that I don't recommend anything to start with)|||Lord of the rings is a classic and an excellent place to start.
If you are looking for a really new series I am working on one, got the first book out recently, link below.|||I would go with Lord of the Rings first, be sure to start with the Hobbit. Then I would go with Harry Potter.|||Uhmmm Harry Potter first. I looooove those books. You could try the Immortals by Alyson Noel. It was good. Uhh u havee a good taste in literaturee!|||Harry Potter|||Game of Throne, I love it very much

Is the 10 book series finished or not?|||The Millenium Trilogy: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo; The Girl Who Played with Fire; The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. It doesn't appear that the 10-book series is done, but check

Other books with characters who hack, but aren't really about hacking?
I'm thinking of books like Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow, or Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson. They have characters who do some hacking, and hacking/tech might be a theme in the book, but the stories aren't really about hacking.
Not cyberpunk, etc.
Bonus points for strong female characters, a la Lisbeth Salander from Stieg Larsson's books.|||Digital Fortress, I think, would qualify.

Age Group for Books.?
What age group would you put Stieg Larsson's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" in? Is it a high school or college level book?|||They have explicit language, perverse violence, and both normal and violent sexual content, as well as themes meant for adults. I wouldn't really put an age group, since I believe there are high schoolers who could handle that, but it is definitely not for children or for anyone sensitive to those themes.|||From what Rebecca says is in the book, it sounds Adult to me (Mystery). Young Adult can only go so far when it comes to sexual situations, so it depends on how explicit the sexual references are; if it's anything like adult romance then it's definitely an adult book.Young Adult can include sexual situations and cursing, but publishers usually do not allow it to be very explicit.
Ultimate book..for you (10pts)?
Love story, romance, crime novel.
Basically tell me about a book that had something in it that you can't define but what you know is wonderful.
Mine are:
Diana Wynne Jones; Dalemark series
Stieg Larsson; Millenium trilogy
Wuthering Heights (OMG covers it)
Suggestions of all walks of life and if you mention Twilight prepare to explain your views beyond (EDWARD IS SO HOT!!!)|||A Little Piece of Ground by Elizabeth Laird
I'm not sure what genre it is, and to be honest, there's no real plot; it's just about how a Palestinian teenager and his family cope with the continuous conflict between their country and Israel, but it's not like.. old. It's a modern day book. It involves romance, crime and punishment, and war, I guess.
It's got to be the best book I've ever read, why? It's just so.. different, you know? It's like seeing the world from just one person's perspective. Although the storyline / characters aren't real, the situation is. There's so much you don't hear about on the news in developed countries like the UK, about situations in less developed countries, it's so hard to explain. It's just a really moving book, and there's so many moments where it's hard not to want to cry :| just thinking about some of the things that go on in other countries, which we don't even know about, is horrible.
A Little Piece of Ground really inspired me, after reading it, I'd like to travel to Palestine when I'm a little older, just to see what it's really like.
I enjoy books which are partly based on real life things, because for me, it's the easiest way to learn about the world :)

I started reading a book called...?
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson.
I was recommended this book by my uncle plus I've read really good reviews about it.
The start is a little slow and hard to get into.... but I'm hoping it'll get better.
Have you read it? What's your opinion?|||It is a bit slow. And honestly, it's a bit mediocre. It seems like every action girl with tragic past book there is. Kinda.

Book recommendations?
It is my boy friends birthday in a week and I want to surprise him with a new fairly large collection of books. I am looking for things along the line of;
stieg larsson - millenium trilogy
jack Karouak - the road
Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks!|||Cormac McCarthy is great. Blood Meridian.|||Outliers: The Story of Success
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.

................|||I would say get him anything by Edgar Allen Poe. You can find books that contain collection of short stories online and most bookstores have stories by him. If you haven't heard about Poe, his stories are definitely worth reading :)|||worthyofpublishing.com is great!

The Long Walk - Stephen King
Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy
Good Omens - Neil Geiman/Terry Pratchet
Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson|||As much as I love just about everything by Stephen King, you'll get a wider range of styles, topics, and story types with these three:
Good Omens - Neil Geiman/Terry Pratchet (hilarious!)
Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon (heavy and deep)
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson (excellent crime fiction)
GONE TOMORROW by Lee Child is something I would recommend over the Larsson. It's a fantastic thriller and part of a series, so if you like it he's got 10 more already in print.|||"Blood Meridian" and "Gravity's Rainbow" are two of my favorite books. You're my new favorite person on here. Of the rest, I'd say "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". I don't like Stephen King or Terry Pratchett.
I'd recommend something like "Ragtime" by E.L. Doctorow. Right now I'm reading "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. You'd probably like that, and if you did you'd also like "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig.|||well first i would think what book looks the nbest for me and what would suit me the best....and tht i can relate to...i didnt read any of those books bu the one tht sounds the best is the long walk or the girl with the dragon tattoo.......and the other question you asked me ...umm idk if gravity's rainbow is hard read......sorry i couldnt help much......=(..good luck with the book or books you choose!=)
