What to read next??

I'm at that horrid yet lovely point of deciding what to read next. I've been reading romances to get to know the market, but I think I need a change for one book. And I've been reading graphic novels, but I think that phase has waned for now, so I'll shelve my League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for another day. (No sense rushing through graphic novels, they are SO expensive.)

Probably I'll read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo:




Only problem is the second book is in hard cover, and the third not yet out in English translation. Well, if the book is so good and I get all desperate, the third book is out in French.

Michael Jackson! my my

Spent my afternoon doing some work from home, and now I just settled down for some internetting and apparently Michael Jackson is dead!

Only the AP and LA Times have reported it yet, I guess. I'm watching CNN's The Situation Room. They're just playing videos and talking fluff cause they have nothing else to report.

I'm not surprised, that poor guy always looked so ill and unhappy. Wonder what'll happen to his kids.

UPDATE: I have to add Swisgirl's comment from facebook cause it's funny...

"I remember when we were in HIgh Scool and "boring people" from the 50s & 60s died... and Entertainment tonight was REALLY BORING... I remember thinking: will it be like this when Billy Idol and Madonna die??? I guess so! "
