Sentences of the Week:

1. "It was two years since Blomkvist had been to Saltsjobaden. He had only been to Berger's house a few times. He supposed that was a sign of immaturity."

2. "When she tried them on that night she felt incredibly foolish. What she saw in the mirror was a thin, tattooed girl in grotesque underwear. She took them off and threw them in the trash."

3. "Annika--this is going to be a long night," he said without looking at her as the police car turned up the street."

I chose these as my sentences of the week not really because they are all that interesting, but in the text they all have some humor to them. I personally like the second sentence best mainly because of the way Salander is describing herself as she goes on a little shopping trip to H&M. In the third sentence Blomkvist makes a sarcastic remark to Annika trying to be humorous but in the situation it doesn't really work. For the first sentence, Mikael assumes that because he has never been to Berger's house he is being immature due to the relationship he and Berger have had.
