Books you should consider reading, if you have the time

Here is a couple of recommendations of books I've read lately.

Let's start of with the Swedish grand old man within the genre 'spy'-novels, Jan Guillou and his newest offering Madame Terror, a great written and told story, a great build up to a grand finale, with sheer excitement all the way through, hard to put down when first started. It's hard to go wrong with books in the Carl Hamilton series. The book is also a nice twist on the current political situation in the world.

A writer I've just lately run across is Daniel Silva, who writes spy-novels as well, centered around the Israeli agent/ex-agent Gabriel Allon. So far I've read The Confessor and Prince Of Fire, great, exciting and quite easy reading, again, books that are hard to put down, when first started.

Right now, among others, I'm reading Men Hating Women (direct translation from Swedish/Danish, as there isn't a English translation of the book yet, as far as I know) by Stieg Larsson, though now you have something to look forward to, he's a great writer who puts a lot of details into his work, haven't gotten that far into the book yet, but are really enjoying what I'm reading. So far there is 3 books in the series, he calls Millennium, Men Hating Women being the first.
