Girl Who Played With Fire

Larsson, Stieg
Amazon link

Ordered this as soon as we got home from Sweden. Longer plodding section up front, but almost as enthralling latter part. I really dig the main character.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Larsson, Stieg
Amazon link

Erik bought this for me to read during our trip to Sweden. I muddled through the first 100 pages or so, and then suddenly, I devoured the thing-- including spending a whole morning in our hotel room, just to finish it.

Bread Baker's Apprentice, the

Reinhart, Peter

Amazon link

Can't remember where I saw this recommended; probably a cooking blog like Smitten Kitchen. I had big dreams but it's pretty impenetrable to me-- I'm terrible at following rules, steps, or recipes. I was hoping for more of a "this is what the dough should feel like" guide. I'm flipping through it now since it's due today (someone else placed a hold).

Fresh Air Fiend

Theroux, Paul

Amazon link

Borrowed from the library because of a mention by the Jenss family travel blog on Intelligent Travel. The initial essay was very self-important and difficult to wade through. I liked the subsequent short travel stories more, but I never got enough into it and now someone else has placed a hold on it, so it's going back unfinished.
