2008 was apparently the year that dead foreign writers crossed over in America. We saw the release of Roberto Bolano's 2666 (which may be making it to my book list) and Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
I'm about 125 pages in since last night and this is the first book in a while that I've felt has really consumed me. I was up way too late reading it and find the characters, situation and pacing to be excellent.
I'm kind of loathe to really speak to much about it at this point because much can shift but so far the translation reads quite brisk taking time to annotate unfamiliar nouns to give context.
