Good choice Newborn - I've read the first one of Stieg Larssons, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but am waiting for the paperback to come out of the next (I hate reading hardback books - I know its weird) I didn't know they had made a movie.
I'm reading Dune by Frank Herbert at the moment - pretty heavy but good.
If you want something more classical - Women in White by Wilkie Collins is really good.
