Working at a university definitely has its perks*... great insurance, half off Christian's tuition, being able to go on coffee breaks with my love, faculty football tickets.... but the best, by far, are the two weeks off for Christmas!

During this blessed break (do I hear angels singing??!) I was able to read 3.333 books.  

Here is the first:

Random fact: this book makes a reference to Pensacola!

I will be honest, it was hard to get into... but once I did "oh boy"! I have never read a book like this before... I am typically drawn to the girly romance "safe" types...

There was nothing safe about this read. The book expressed a darkness that was constantly pushing me away and pulling me in simultaneously... I am almost embarrassed to tell you I read this... The heavy topics Larsson embedded ranged from incest to Nazis, if that gives you an idea of what we are dealing with here... I would classify this novel as a deranged mystery...

I don't know if my impressionable self could handle the sequel..., or the movie...., but I will let you know if I do pick up "The Girl that Kicked the Hornet's Nest"
