BONUS DRAMATIC READING #100.1 -- The Girl Who Shopped At IKEA
Added 2018-02-24 23:35:30 +0000 UTCHey there, folks. It's J, checking in with a special bonus reading for anybody who has donated at any level. As mentioned during the last show about Stieg Larsson's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", I inadvertently read the sequel before the original, and was very disappointed to discover that the piece I was very excited to choose as my dramatic reading was not, in fact, in the book we reviewed.
The piece I was so stoked to read, and so disappointed when i did not get the opportunity to do so, is an extended scene from "The Girl Who Played With Fire" where Lisbeth goes to an IKEA, and picks out a bunch of furniture for her brand new apartment. This is described in excruciating detail, and our author feels the need to describe all of it not just by brand name, but by product name, color, and configuration options.
So here it is, just for you, the generous and wonderful people who have found it in your hearts to donate to us in a monetary capacity at any level. Please enjoy an excerpt from a crime thriller that I like to describe as "a list of shit somebody bought."
