OK, I have to say up front that I am not a Stephen King fan. I have only read about five of his books to completion and none of them were favorites. However, I have found that I really enjoy following his pop culture column for Entertainment Weekly and almost always agree with his reading suggestions. Why the master of horror and I have similar taste in books is one of those great mysteries that will not be solved in this lifetime.
But I knew that he had once again not gone wrong when I saw that this summer's first suggestion is Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. I completely agree with him that Lisbeth Salander is "one of the great female characters in fiction."
I challenge you to read through King's list and not find something that piques your interest. For myself, I think will be checking out Ordinary Thunderstorms by William Boyd. Happy Reading!
