Jul 16, 10 at 11:15 amYou know, I’ve never seen Good Will Hunting so I will check that out.
I’m reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (or, um, it’s on my shelf lol) so I’ll hold off on watching that.

I heard The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo book was great. I actually have not decided if I should read the book first or just go ahead and watch the movie. Let me know what you think of the book when you finish!

Jul 16, 10 at 1:17 pmThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is really good! It really follows the book a lot, although I liked the book much, much more. I’d recommend reading the book first, because a lot of stuff is out of order.
I’ve been meaning to watch Good Will Hunting forever too.
