Apparently Dragons Are Scary

Hope everyone is having a good week.  We're about to be hit by ANOTHER ice storm.  Wherever you are be safe!

I know a lot of people a fans of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.  I've seen it blogged about several times and it's been a best seller for ages.  I've never gotten around to reading it, but a few nights ago I was looking for a movie to watch and lo and behold, there it was on Netflix instant.  It's 2:30am and I get myself comfortably situated and set up for some Swedish cinema.  Now, can anyone see the problem with watching this movie in the middle of the night WITH NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE PLOT!?   Yea, there was some mental scarring.

Don't get me wrong.  I loved the film and I don't regret watching it.  I just wish I had a warning so I could have had a safety blanket and a tub of cookie dough ice cream on hand.  European cinema is way more graphic than American.  I know they're doing an American remake of the film, but even with a "R" rating they'll have to edit it way down.  The funny thing is I almost went to this movie on a date a few months ago- so glad that didn't pan out!

Seeing that movie has altered my reading plans for the week ahead.  At first I was considering downloading Anne Calhoun's new e-book Under His Hand.  I really loved Liberating Lacey, so I'd like to read more of her work.  However, after my recent experience, I think it's understandable why I'm going to wait a week or two before reading a book which focuses on dominance and submission.

Instead I think I'm going to hunt down something entirely light and fluffy.  I'm sure I have something on my shelves, but any good suggestions are welcome!
