I read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and didn't like it at all. I find this happens often when I read bestsellers. But looking at the other books on Amazon's Top 100, I realize that it's not my lack of refined taste. I sometimes wonder if the people who are choosing the bestsellers are the same ones deciding what is a hit TV show. Better writers and better books come and go without notice. I'ed rather spend the countless hours wading through the mountains of subliterate dreck for that one gem than accept a book recommendation from the bestseller list that everyone is fawning over because they don't have the guts to admit that the list was composed by a pack of illiterate, bribe taking gibbons. My apologies to any gibbons who are MR members.
