We Attempted the #24in48 Readathon

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson is a dark read, parading under the guise of popular culture. Which, perhaps, is appropriate, given its underlying themes. Larsson takes a hard look at the historical and current climate of assault on females in Sweden, but captures it in the context of a mystery thriller. The […]
