We are greeted by the Swedish flag as we enter Sharon's home.
After our usual catching up on the events of the past month and having satiated our appetites, we adjoin to the living room to discuss "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Steig Larsson. Sharon poses several questions dealing with the characters in the book, namely Mikael Blomqvist, Erica Berger, Martin, Harriet and Lisbeth. Lisbeth it is agreed was the main character and a character she was. I was disturbed by the extent of the brutal revenge she inflicts upon Nils Bjurman her so called guardian, but he did indeed deserve it. He was a pig!
Lisbeth is a strong and odd character and it is obvious by the ending, that this is not the last we will see of her. Al joined us in the discussion and added his view of this book with the recommendation to continue reading the entire three book series - The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.
Next month we will meet at Ellen's home and read "Safe Haven" by Nicholas Sparks who also wrote "The Notebook".
Louisa drew our attention to a used book web site call Alibris.com where you can purchase books for as little as 99¢ plus shipping.
Friday, I will drop off our banner. There is a reception for "The Festival of Banners 2011" on Friday May 27th at 7pm at Boydville. I'll post details tomorrow.
