The stunning third and final novel in Stieg Larsson’s internationally best-selling trilogy
Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge—against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.
Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.
±1±: Best Buy I really enjoyed this trilogy and thought the 3rd book was a really strong ending to a great series. No offense to the people who didn't enjoy it...but it's not the authors fault if you are too stupid to follow the plots/characters/settings. My point is, don't listen to the people that didn't like it, because their inability to understand it seemed to be the common theme for the nay-sayers.
My advice, start with the first book. They are really great characters and plots. I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Very intelligent, interesting, and worthy of the read. on Sale!

Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city bus. "The days are long, but the years are short," she realized. "Time is passing, and I'm not focusing enough on the things that really matter." In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project.
In this lively and compelling account of that year, Rubin carves out her place alongside the authors of bestselling memoirs such as Julie and Julia, The Year of Living Biblically, and Eat, Pray, Love. With humor and insight, she chronicles her adventures during the twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific research, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier.
Rubin didn't have the option to uproot herself, nor did she really want to; instead she focused on improving her life as it was. Each month she tackled a new set of resolutions: give proofs of love, ask for help, find more fun, keep a gratitude notebook, forget about results. She immersed herself in principles set forth by all manner of experts, from Epicurus to Thoreau to Oprah to Martin Seligman to the Dalai Lama to see what worked for her—and what didn't.
Her conclusions are sometimes surprising—she finds that money can buy happiness, when spent wisely; that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness; that "treating" yourself can make you feel worse; that venting bad feelings doesn't relieve them; that the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference—and they range from the practical to the profound.
Written with charm and wit, The Happiness Project is illuminating yet entertaining, thought-provoking yet compulsively readable. Gretchen Rubin's passion for her subject jumps off the page, and reading just a few chapters of this book will inspire you to start your own happiness project.
±1±: Best Buy Gretchen Rubin feels a general sense of malaise with her life, leading up to some sort of midlife crisis. Thus, she decides on a new undertaking, researching ways that she can make herself happy. She decides to work on several different resolutions, picking a new one for each month and crafting her own "splendid truths."
I really enjoyed following along Rubin's journey from January all the way until December. Most of her resolutions are ones that I wish that I had the heart to follow myself. I want to pursue my passions and be a better person by not snapping at people all the time. At the same time, there is a certain philosophical view of being happy, whether trying to measure happiness will change one's happiness somehow, or if even things and resolutions can truly lead to happiness rather than a happy moment.
At the core, though, I feel like Rubin's happiness project really tells of a story of a woman who breaks from the mold of her life and dares to try new things in order to feel better. To me, that goal is quite worthy of a year's worth of work and it has inspired me to attempt my own happiness project. I would highly recommend this book, both for the inspiration that comes out of it and for the actual memoir itself. Rubin writes well and I find it interesting to read about her life and the changes that happen through her happiness project. on Sale!

In Drink, Play, F@#k Bob Sullivan, a jilted husband, sets off to explore the world, experience a meaningful connection with the divine, and rediscover his passion. His travels lead him from his home in New York City to a drinking bender across Ireland, through the glitz and glamour that is Las Vegas, and to the hedonistic pleasure palaces of Thailand. After a lifetime of playing it safe, Mr. Sullivan finally follows his heart and lives out everyone's deepest fantasies. For who among us hasn't dreamed of standing stark naked, head upturned, and mouth agape beneath a cascading torrent of Guinness Stout? What could be more exhilarating than losing every penny you have because Charlie Weiss went for a meaningless last-second field goal? And what sensate creature could ever doubt that the greatest pleasure known to man can be found in a leaky bamboo shack filled with glassy-eyed, bruised Asian hookers? Bob Sullivan has a lot to teach us about life. Let's just pray we have the wisdom to put aside our preconceptions and listen. Because what Bob Sullivan finds isn't at all what he expected.
±1±: Best Buy This book is for those who tried to make it through the Find Yourself Midlife Crisis porn that was "Eat Pray Love" aka EPL and finally threw it against the wall after gagging repeatedly.
EPL was practially begging to be spoofed and Gottlieb does a fine job of it. I'm guessing the only reason why his book has not been made into a film by now is that there might be some legal issues due to his spoofing EPL?

Jade thought she had it all: a hunky mate, beautiful children, a great job and her just-completed dream house. Then it all disappeared. Single and alone for the first time in two decades, Jade suddenly finds herself ready to live the life that she missed in her 20s. She moves to San Francisco to search for her soul mate and meets eligible bachelors everywhere. There's the financial wizard who wants to buy her house and keep her in the bargain. There's the college student whose favorite movie is "The Graduate." There's the gorgeous Brit who strides through life like an adventure and somehow forgets to mention his wife. And what happens when two dates show up at the same party? Finally, Jade thinks she meets Mr. Right: Sweet, sexy, kind, but haunted by a secret problem that threatens to sweep Jade into its deadly vortex. After a long line of bad boyfriends, Jade wakes up to the Naughtiest boyfriend of all!
±1±: Best Buy Although a work of "fiction," Naughty Boyfriends sounds uncannily honest, and I would not be surprised if it were all true. The book reveals what happens when a smart, attractive woman goes through "life" with a gaping hole in her soul. Utter confusion of desire/wantingness versus true love and happiness. We all hear about how we are made up of the mind, body, and spirit. Well Jade has the mind, the body, but completely misses the essence of her spirit (as do many of us). The result is one empty romp after another, a victim of her own "beauty" and "intelligence."
Jade's story shows how tenacious the human ego is, and how it has to plummet to the depths of despair in order to finally surrender to God (and by grace and good fortune she does). Therefore, Jade is also all of us when run by our own egos and selfish desires. In my opinion, Naughty Boyfriends is just an intro to a Life that has just begun! And of course, the words she finds on a bench overlooking the San Francisco Bay gives us just a glimpse of what we are to realize along with her:
"But I've moved on So, enjoy it all with me." on Sale!

Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t.
±1±: Best Buy I purchased this book on CDs for my father because one of his doctors recommended he read it. He is 85 years old and absolutely loved it. When he was a young boy they had a lady who "helped" them around the house and this book brought back many fond memories of that time in his life. He listened to the book in just a few days. This book will take you to another place in time. on Sale!
