I've just begun reading 'The Ode Less Travelled' by Stephen Fry.

Thank you, Randi. I've read some of their books. In fact, that reminds me I've been meaning to get to the next one "The Man on the Balcony," I think it's called. They're very good!

Thanks Randi. I just bought the Kindle edition of Roseanna (First of the Martin Beck series), a bargain at 99p.

I don't know if she's related to Stieg. I think Larsson is a pretty common name in Sweden. The books were quite gripping if very grim. Psychological mysteries sort of on the line of Ruth Rendell if you've read any of her books. VERY creepy, too!
