I need some suggestions for mysteries...especially murder mysteries...especially creepy, scary ones.

Is anybody reading the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? I just finished it this morning. Can't say I loved it, but it was quite a page turner. My big problem
is that the lead character literally sleeps with every woman he encounters -- in fact, women throw themselves at him, even the character with Asberger's
Syndrome. Also: the main mystery is fully resolved and there's 140 pages after that to wrap up a much minor, less interesting side conflict.

I'm about a quarter way through House of Leaves, and it's pretty good (if a bit kooky).

Also: the main mystery is fully resolved and there's 140 pages after that to wrap up a much minor, less interesting side conflict.  x 10 I had the exact impression. The author seemed to be living out his James-Bondish fantasy in the book; it was hilarious. Of course my
husband did not really note that this characteristic of the protagonist was unusual.
I also read the sequel. It was not quite as good but was worth a read. Apparently their is quite a battle going on over who gets the money from these books since the author is dead. |

I started Michael Crichton's Airframe the other day. Now, usually I'm a huge Crichton fan, since I love the sciency fun facts mixed in with the action,
plus I love how he can pull of random info dumps so well without me getting bored. Congo, Jurassic Park, and Timeline are three of my favorite books. But this
one is kind of lame, to be honest. It's kind of boring. I just think he knew a hell of a lot about planes, so he half-assedly made a novel to showcase his
airplane knowledge.

I'm reading To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. Some of the passages make me want to ejaculate.

Lucrezia Borgia and the Mother of Poisons is probably one of the stupidest books I've ever read.
The characters are .5 dimensional, Lucrezia is totally retarded and annoying, and Gellis is a horrible writer who spends more time on describing a gown rather than the superficial plot. If you're a 12 year old who likes reading about girls trying on dresses coupled with a premise that is so historically ludicrous that it makes the Other Boleyn Girl seem written by Herodotus, then this is for you! |

I'm reading what Eury's reading, litterally (pun intended).
I'm just reading it when she goes out to run errands (pun intended too). |
