I'm reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest. I read the first two in the trilogy and I'm having a hard time getting into this one. It's still good but I feel like there's going to be a quiz later there are so many characters to remember!

I really want to read the books. I've seen the movies (both the American one and all of the Swedish ones). I've talked to people who have tried reading the books though and they all hate them.

I have read the first two. I found them very hard work to get into. I started the third one, but it just seemed to be more effort than I was prepared to put in. I enjoyed the first one after getting about 3/4 through it.

yeah, that's what I heard from my friends. That the books were really hard to get into to.

Russell Baker - Growing Up - 1982

[Image: 51ammuCRRtL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-stic..._OU01_.jpg]

Proving once again my theory is true, anyones biography can be good if told by a good writer. Vaguely had a remembrance of this guys name. NY Times editorial writer with his heyday there in the 70's. Has written numerous books including two autobiographies. Also hosted PBS's Masterpiece Theater from 1992-2004, which is probably where I heard of him. This first biography only covers up to when Russell got married, thus the title I guess. It won him a Pulitzer Prize on publication, and the success prompted a sequel in 1989. Very well written, with lots of humor about his childhood days.

Grade - B

next up - To America by Stephen Ambrose
