What are you reading?

3/4 of the way through "What Was Lost" by Catherine O'Flynn.  It's sort of a weird, semi-mystery, semi-dark comedic literature novel.  It's not brilliant, but it's a quick read.  I became interested in her when Mr A picked up an excerpt of a later novel.  I haven't been able to find the full length book in the library yet. 

I am jumping on the bandwagon late but I've finally started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and can't put it down! 

Anyone else read them all? 

Yes, I read them all and loved them.  I've also watched the three DVD's complete with Swedish subtitles.

Ah!  Were the movies good?  I am only halfway into the first one and can't put it down!

Our Kind of Traitor by John Le Carre

How are you liking it? Just the other day a friend and I were commenting to each other that we've never read any Le Carre but feel as if we should.

Yes.  That's it.

Hooray! It isn't just me! 

I've been watching this thread for ideas on what to read next once I finish my series. It will take a while before I get to it all because I am online far too much. I used to read a minimum of 3 books a week, now it seems to take months because I don't drag myself off the laptop very often.

Well, DH got it because of Le Carre's reputation as he hadn't read anything by him before. He thought it was a bit rubbish tbh, but I have nothing else to read, so I figured I'd give it a go. He said it's one of those that you can tell the author doesn't really know how to end it, so he kind of gives up. I've just started it, so I can't really give an opinion just yet.

I hadn't actually even heard of Our Kind of Traitor! I have The Spy Who Came in from the Cold sitting around on my bookshelf which, because it's better known, might be better-written. Does it work that way? Anyway, I'll give it a go one of these days. Le Carré lives just a few miles from here so I feel I ought to read one of his books, for no other reason than geographical loyalty!

This is a new release. DH said he thinks his earlier stuff might be better, so you should definitely read the one you have. Let me know how it goes!
