  1. Unbelievable She has a talented . With her being that flexible, I bet she has two I believe that move is called "The Self-Basting Rotisserie Oven."
  2. Dragon Tattoo has begun to pick-up. The sadistic rape scenes really helped kick things into post-GRRM gear. I thought the rape in Tattoo was far more graphic than any of the GRRM stuff. Has she confronted the guy about it yet? Yes, she has. I finished the book. It's deplorable. The brutal rape scenes we just mentioned hardly had a thing to do with the various plots in the book. They served no purpose other than to entertain with obscenities. To my repulsion, they were nothing compared to the nastiness in the big reveal near the end. This sort of thing is the worst kind of pornography. I think it was dude's first effort & that shows in the last 100 pages where he attempts to wrap-up the many secondary plots all in one quick shot. I suppose at 600 pages he felt under pressure to put an end to it. Other than that, the stories are complex & well crafted, structurally. The lead characters, in fact all the characters, are very well drawn & convincing. Very nice work. You know what else I found deplorable, though. This book is garbage. May I never see the movies. Finally, I wasn't too keen when Catholicism took some occultist shots. lol After I read it, I was kinda like "huh, what's the big deal?" as it was the book everyone was reading. It was OK. The second book was alot more entertaining, although it was very far-fetched, IMO. I started reading the 3rd one just to complete the trilogy, but then just put it back on the shelf. If I ever want to know how it ends, I'll just wiki it. What's up next? 50 Shades of Grey? I started the Hobbit (as I've never read any of the LOTR stuff), but really haven't got very far. I need to find my copy of Dance with Dragons. I moved a few months back and cannot find the stupid thing. I'd like to finish that one up. I was about 200-250 pages in, so I'll have to restart it whenever I find it. Dance with Dragons was good, but not the best in the series. I read all five books just recently. I wonder when The Winds of Winter will be finished?
