I want to read that book, but the library only has one volume of the trilogy, and it’s not the first one. Thanks for bringing back the ‘what are you reading thread.’
While this topic isn’t new, it’s good to see it revived. I looked for that title but couldn’t find it in my search.
When it comes to “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” it’s essential to start from the first book. As for Shakespeare, I really enjoyed “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Here’s a brief reading list of mine. I usually lean towards action, fantasy, and adventure genres, but I enjoy various styles.
Please feel free to share your own reading lists! 1.
