Just finished 'How to Archer' by Sterling Archer. Was interesting, at least it was worth the 10$ spent on it.
Now on to 'God is not Great'

The Girl in the Spider's Web: A Lisbeth Salander Novel - Millennium Series, Book 4
http://www.audible.com/pd/Mysteries-Thri...=a_hp_c2_1
Quote:In this adrenaline-charged, up-to-the-moment political thriller, Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist are back. The troubled genius hacker and crusading journalist thrilled the world in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, which have sold more than 80 million copies worldwide.
David Lagercrantz is a Swedish journalist and best-selling author of fiction and nonfiction. He was hand selected by the Larsson estate to write this standalone sequel based on Stieg Larsson's characters.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH I hope it's good....
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH I hope this guy had an editor!!! Hahaha genius hacker but whole movie she was hacking from a Mac. Fucking hilarious.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Yeah, well, it's a movie.
I'm seriously annoyed that they didn't continue making the American series w/ Rooney Mara. I much prefer her playing Lisbeth than Noomi Rapace; Mara as Lisbeth pulls off the WTF aspect of Lisbeth's look while Rapace's Lisbeth looks like a conventionally attractive woman playing emo-goth-girl, IMO.
But at least they finished the Noomi Rapace series.
EDIT: NO WAY! I just checked Rooney Mara's IMDB page to make sure I was spelling her name right and it's rumored that she'll reprise Lisbeth in The Girl Who Played With Fire!! :Happy Dance:

Never heard of it .
I have, like, 90 minutes left of Devil's Only Friend and then I'll probably go on to World War Z, then to the Millennium Series which I already have so that I can buy the book 4 next time I'm at Costco

"Next of Kin" is a novella/short that comes before "Devil's Only Friend."

Ah, well, clearly I didn't read it...
JUST finished Clash of Kings last night, finally! That book took forever to read!
Started The Selfish Gene at work as my lunch-time book, since I have lunches back now, and I need to get going on the latest batch of Walking Dead comics I got from the library that I've been putting off starting.

Yeah exactly its a movie. I wouldnt expect such a gaffe in a movie about a poor girl that's a genius hacker.

The Shepherds crown. Sadley Terry Pratchetts last book. Good, but not one of his best, possibly because he had not finished tinkering when he passed away.
It is once more about elves trying to get back to the world and the fight between them, withches and the nac mac feegle.
Still a good read but personally I would have liked a Watch book for his swan song, Sam Vimes and Capt Carrot were the best characters in the pantheon.

I would if that movie about a poor girl who is a genius hacker was made by Americans.
