SOOOOO I heard that everyone in the universe is reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Is this true?!
Well, since, you know, I want to write books and all, I thought I should also read it, so I can see what everyone in the universe likes. I'm about 250 pages in; very easy read. It's good and all, but as I'm reading I can't help but imagine bad SNL skits you could parody from it.
Anyway, I'm not here to give a review, I'm here because three days ago I was on the subway and the guy next to me and guy across from me was also reading the same book. If you haven't seen it, it has a bright yellow cover, so it's very easy to spot. And then I looked around and I saw a women reading the third book in the series, The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
What the fuck!? I felt like I had been infected with a virus (if that's even something you can feel), so I quickly closed the book, now feeling very embarrassed.
"I wasn't actually reading this!" I wanted to say. "How did this book get in my bag?!"
So THEN I just felt like a dick! Because, you know, I think it's kind of annoying when people lash against something just because it's popular.
That being said, I think this is a very interesting book; though not interesting because of the text, but because it gives me a funny feeling just by looking at it.
That's pretty neat.
