So far in 2010....

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson
Mr Perrin and Mr Traill by Hugh Walpole (reviewed)
The Messenger of Athens by Anne Zouroudi (reviewed)
My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers (reviewed)
The Luck of the Bodkins by P G Wodehouse
The Girl who played with fire by Steig Larsson
Dark Voyage by Alan Furst
Men, Women and Dogs by James Thurber (cartoons)

Current reading:
Rupert of Hentzau by Anthony Hope
Midsummer Nights by Jeanette Winterson

The third of Larsson's Millenium Trilogy will follow when it is available in paperback although I didn't enjoy No.2 as much as the first in the series. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is just about to hit the cinema screens here - it will be interesting to see how they produced it.

Looking at this list, I do need to read a few more serious books ;-)

(ETA - Touchstones are acting up)
