The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo
I read the parody novel The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo recently. I haven't read any of Steig Larson's books yet, but it was actually pretty entertaining. The humour was terrible, consisting mostly of awful puns and one character mishearing what the other is saying and breaking the conversation to clarify--but if I ignored that, I found that it made for an interesting dragon-viewpoint book. I have a compulsion to try any book that tells a story from a dragon's viewpoint, and this was one of the better ones if you ignored the crappy attempts at jokes. There were actually some good technical examples of how to communicate a setting's details and making it seem natural.
