Default Re: PL Book Club - Reading Fatherland by Robert Harris

I love reading books and I read alot - however most of the books I read are in Danish (and several by Danish and Swedish authors)

The books I've been reading recently are fantastic - I have a few to recommend, but I need to find out if they're translated into English

The books I am talking about are modern thrillers

EDIT: Found some English Info :

Stieg Larsson

Stieg Larsson (1954-2004) was a Swedish writer and journalist.

STIEG LARSSON, 1954-2004
Prior to his sudden death in a heart attack in November 2004 he finished three detective novels in his trilogy the Millenium-series; "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" (2005, UK release in January 2008), "The Girl Who Played With Fire", (2006, UK release in January 2009) and "Castles in the Sky" (working title) (2007, English title not confirmed, UK release in January 2010).
Before his career as a writer, Stieg Larsson was mostly known for his struggle against racism and right-wing extremism. In the middle of the 1980’s he helped to start the anti-violence project “Stop the Racism”. This was followed by the founding of the Expo-foundation in 1995, where he later became the executive. From 1999 and on, he was appointed the chief editor of Expo, a magazine published by the organization Expo.



By far the best books I've ever read
