Millennium-series
The Millennium-series consist of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" (2005, UK release in January, 2008), "The Girl Who Played With Fire", (2006, UK release in January 2009) and "Castles in the Sky" (working title) (2007, English title not confirmed, UK release in January 2010).
Stieg Larsson wrote the novels at night, apart from his job at the Expo magazine. He started writing in 2001 and enjoyed it so much that he didn’t make contact with a publisher until he had two finished novels and had a third one under way.
In an interview short before his death, Stieg Larsson described his writing as his “pension insurance”.
The three novels in the Millenium-series have become extremely popular in Sweden. The first two have been awarded; "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" by the Crime Writers of Scandinavia and "The Girl Who Played With Fire" by the Swedish Academy for Detective Novels.
I just finished 'The girl with the dragon Tattoo', I was hooked from the first page. for me this was the book of the year!

I have to say that the English translation of the 1st title is bad. Its "Men who hates Women".......Not the girl with tha dragon tatoo....
