Would you recommend "The Girl With Dragon Tattoo" trilogy? I have a copy of the first book and I was thinking about reading it sometime this year. It probably would be best for me to read 'em before watching the movies.

I enjoyed the trilogy a lot. Be warned though that there are a lot of graphic sexual assault scenes in the first book. I won't watch the movies because of this. The original title in Swedish for the first book was "Men Who Hate Women" which is pretty fitting because that's really what the book is about. It's a rare instance in which a man writes a novel about misogyny that I approve of. As in, I like the way he treats the subject.
