'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' begins my all-time favorite fiction series. The Swedish cultural references are what is so cool to me, and they are super accurate! I've read this or listened to it on audiobook over half a dozen times, most on long offshore passages...

Recommended by the author himself, Yanne Larsson, but also on my own list! The fantastic and hilarious tale of two Swedes - Yanne and Carl - who set out to circumnavigate the globe on a handshake agreement with zero previous sailing experience. There will be more to come from me on this title, so stay tuned...
