Your two top take aways from the series?

[Launchingstars]

1) Take every civil and academic step possible to be the "Victor not the Victim' and 2)Buy and carry a Stun Gun~

[Richard]

1) Read the first book and see the original movie

2) Don't bother with the other 2 books

[Stephanie]

Coffee is more important than water.

Tasers are AWESOME :)

[Bobbie]

Saddness at the fact that the author has died and I will not be able to read another of his books.

What an absolutely amazing female character he created.

[Elisa Santos]

Coffee and sandwiches at every waking hour is cool and slimming.

Never pass judgment on a supposed "outcast" - they might turn out to be amaizinglymore inteligent than you.

[Ariadne]

1) Never give a seriously drawn out discription of a room unless you want people to die of serious boredom.

2) And like Launchingstars said, buy and carry a stun gun with you at all times!!!

[C.C.]

1. Stun guns are awesome
2. I need to be bad ass w/ computers

[Annemarie]

Chicks who can hack are awesome
Stun guns are bad ass.

[G.L.]

1 - It's really satisfying to see truly evil people receive justice.

2 - Never piss off Lisbeth Salander. Ever.

[Mark]

1) Swedes are way more intense then I ever imagined.

2) Even anti-social goth chicks would like bigger boobs.

[Zirk]

1) Great female character.
2) Parody taken at face value can lead to untold success if you die in time.

[Juan]

1.) Encrypt every email
2.) Don't leave anything out in the open.

[Licha]

1. Lisbeth-one of my favorite characters in a book ever. She is a woman who is strong, intelligent and a true survivor.

2. Will it get taken the wrong way if I say Lisbeth doled out some poetic justice to her rapist?

[Matthew]

1) Out of shape, middle-aged Swedish journalists get more tail than Sinatra

2) Anytime is a good time for coffee and a sandwich

[Licha]

Thanks. I thought I'd get eaten alive for that one. By the way, love your profile pic.

I noticed both of those things as well. It seems like every five pages (this might be a total exaggeration but still) it seemed like Blomkvist was either getting laid or eating a sandwich and drinking coffee.

The whole pizza thing does seem like it's a food group. I think way too many people (adults and children alike) would be eating it every single day if it were.

1./ lisabeth has a really fucked up childhood and teenage life, but she never thought of taking her own life. Now every time im stress, the word suicide never pop in my head again. I kinda look up to her like a big sister.

2./ friendship = trust + respect. i love this definition. :)

[Jabberwocky]

1)A 40+, average looking, aging journalist, going 'soft around the middle' can be a ladies man is Sweden.
2)"There are not many social situations that cannot be solved with a hammer."
3) Duct tape is an fabulous bandage.

Real life stuff there, my man.

Bobbie, I too am bummed out that the death of this author will end what could have been a very intriguing series.
