The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson and The Green Knight by Iris Murdoch - last week. I'm reading Brick Lane by Monica Ali right now.

Yep.
Current book-in-progress: Brick Lane, The Millenium Problems, The Elegant Universe
Current knitted item: Rachel's baby booties - must be done by Sunday and I've procrastinated long enough (and I have to re-knit a secret item because I boo-booed on it)
Current movie obsession: Slings and Arrows complete box set
Current iTunes loop: East Village Opera Company Olde School
