I am currently reading many books in bits & pieces. Freakonomics, Girls on Edge, Model Home.

Current Shame Inducing Guilty Pleasure:
Obsessive meandering, slow languishing in a vivid world of fantasy.
It would be remiss of me to not pause for a moment & acknowledge my fascination with Stieg Larsson's Girl with a Dragon Tattoo & subsequent books. It took about 150-200 pages--yes, it was a huge effort to get thru the beginning as the story was set up--but once past that the fascination with Lisbeth Salander quickly morphed into something else and I wanted to keep on reading and reading. Stieg Larsson died after the 3rd book & there's currently a huge mess regarding his estate and the books, etc. I am hoping his girlfriend and editor is able to/will continue the story. I really do.
There is one scene in the book... a revenge sequence that elicited an out loud Oh My God--YES! complete with fist. If you read the book you will know the scene. At any rate, the movie is coming out on DVD in July and it's one I think I wish the U.S. would not remake as Noomi Rapace qualifies for the most spot on incarnation of how I viewed a character in a book for me--ever. I am enamoured to distraction. *g*
All that aside--I also feel as though a U.S. remake will most likely not be able to do justice to the story. Lisbeth Salander is savaged--it's part of the story & becomes part of who she is... the story is also very sexual in a way that I can't envision in a U.S. remake & I think it would be less, I really do.





Glimpses:

• fingers entwine themselves in your hair, feel my breath, soft & barely there against your nape. I breathe you in before I take you in.
• hands on hips, pull me in from behind. fingers finding shadows--that curve in the lower back. (my favorite spot) lingering...
