So, I'm not exactly what you call a "reader".
Yes, I know that I teach kids how to read and comprehend and predict and infer and all that, but the truth is that I just don't really love longer books. This is why I teach 3rd graders how to read rather than say, 11th graders. I love short stories and magazines and newspapers, but it takes a special book to keep me hooked for 500 pages.
These are the types of things I typically read...

I feel like I should be a more respectable reader though so I am making an effort to branch out of my comfort zone, hopefully with your help. Here is my first attempt:

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo- By Stieg Larsson -
So, I still have pretty much no idea what its about, but I'm going to give it a shot. At best, there are 2 other books in the series. At worst, at lease they are making a movie of it...
I just recently read The girl with the Dragon Tattoo as well as the second one. Both are really good! The 1st takes a little while to get into unless you know Swedish places & financial info, but stick with it!
ReplyDeleteSaw the movie...pretty graphic!
