Lynn, rest assured. The dearth of snacks was only because I had polished off whatever I’d had. I can’t be trusted with them, especially in stressful times. I am now flush with snacks. Although I almost polished off the big container of Trader Joe’s animal crackers last night, so I’d best replenish. Thanks for stopping in!

Agree with both of you re the Larsson books. They got progressively more expositiony as they went on, as well. I think the final installment also suffered from his death and a real lack of editing. But I still enjoyed the heck out of them. The one written by the other gentleman was not my cup of tea at all. And YES to the original film versions!

No show. Unless someone has a basement with couches to loan us. Because I’m not cleaning my house on top of getting dressed.

Execution is such an active word. Just reading it makes me tired.

You definitely made me laugh! Firemen. Twistin’ shorts. And Lauren, really?!? Month-old pretzels? Yikes! I loved the Larsson series and am just sad he didn’t live long enough to write more! GOTT was just okay for me. Creepy ending. Have yet to read GG and really have little motivation to do so. I despise the lazy PR by linking to either/both of these titles. An author once told me that his publisher purposefully changed the title of his book to ‘sound like’ a title of a previously published very popular book. L-A-Z-Y!! And, in my opinion, a bit unfair. Very interesting conversation. Should we all send you snacks, Lauren? I can’t abide thinking of month-old pretzels… 🙂

Thanks for thinking we’re show worthy, but a podcast sounds like a lot of work and you know how we feel about that.

You can send as many firemen as you’d like to PCN headquarters, Eirego. 🙂

Larsson did have a problem with excessive exposition but dang, when the story finally kicks in and Lisbeth is literally kicking (ass), it was worth it, as you said.

I remember that one. It wasn’t clear to me from the synopsis why that comparison was being used.

Now I’m curious as to how much you paid for HAMILTON. Do we need to send you crates of ramen, Paulette?

We do. We have lots of ideas. It’s the execution that makes us whine.

Agree with you…cool conversation and they DO need their own show!
