In 2010 Everyone Wanted To Check Out Lisbeth Salander

201101_dragontattoo.jpg If you didn't figure it out from every other book on the subway, 2010 was the year of Steig Larsson. And it wasn't just in bookstores, the late Swedish writer was a hit with the library crowd too. The New York Public Library today released its list of most checked out books and the Lisbeth Salander-starring Millenium trilogy dominated with all three top spots. The rest of the top five was rounded out with James Patterson's The Postcard Killer and Jonathan Franzen's Freedom. Larsson's series also had two of the five spots on their list of eNYPL books, but not the top spot. That honor went to Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. And now you know!
