The text is a bit cuncky in places - that's about the only bad thing I have to say about it. It's a thick book and I didn't want to put it down. I am holding off reading the next one as I need to get some sleep at night (since I started reading this I've been staying up into the early am every night reading).
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Steig Larsson.
I had to abandon The Art of Being, Erich Fromm. Yet another dud. Really it's the art of being whined at. most of the book is about all the carlatans out there. No and then he talks about a method or technique of interest and then you turn the page and he's off berating drug takers or fake spiritual leaders. This book would put me right off Fromm - if it were not for The Art of Loving which I read years ago or The Fear of Freedom both of which are good books.

On Writing, Stephen King
On Writing, finished yesterday. This was an eBook and I bought it from waterstones. I have a sony prs-600. I got this a couple of weeks ago and am now madly downloading from project gutenberg
On Writing is for writers and I totally recommend it. I haven't read anything else by Stephen King and never planned to. Now I might have to get Carrie. I have been trhough a few duds recently so it was good to get back to a book that steals all your time again.
I also read a one act play by Verlaine. Madame Aubin - get it free from Gutenberg. It was ok but I think the point has been lost over time. Verlaine is one of my favourite poets so I can forgive him a few pointless plays - especially when they are short.
