I'm about 115 pages in, and George R.R. Martin seems to throw irrelevant sex scenes in every other sentence like a horny teenager.

i saw the ...newer movie before really getting into these.....and the main reason i decided to read it is because of that character.....she really comes off much better in the book

i think its interesting that that Stieg Larsson has actually in a very weird way created a character that seems to enthrall everybody.....to me she is a gruffer version of many people i've known in my life myself included (although i've never met anybody thats quite gone through what she's gone through).....it intrigues me to have an anti-heroine who is involved in the fringes of society....which i think is also what draws her into othwer people who read the book....a truly interesting character

looking forward to the next two books....

If you like the first book you'll like books two and three as well, I'm reading book three which is split into two books here in the UK (some typical money grabbing idea) The debauchery and violence gets worse as the books go on, also don't get too attached to any of the characters as most seem to have grisley fates and the unexpected often happens. I also found the huge amount of characters and histories at times on the complex side, but by book two everything starts to slot into place and now I really appreciate the detail of the world.

I still have to see the TV series as season two is out on TV in April.

Favourite characters have to be Tyrion Lannister, Jaime Lannister, Bronn and Stannis Baratheon.

I just finished rereading Invisible Man. Just as amazing as when I first read it, and it's now overtaken A Clockwork Orange as my favourite novel.

I've read the Millenium series multiple times and they are actually a few of my favorite books. In Sweden, apparently, the name of the book was directly translated into Men Who Hate Woman (I could be wrong) That title would have been better than ''the chick with a tattoo that is irrelevant to the story line".

Also, I'm reading Middlesex by jeffrey eugenides.

Either will do, though I'm particularly interested in nonfiction.
