55. SLAMMERKIN
Emma Donoghue 2000
A unique book with a very unlikely protagonist in Mary Saunders who becomes a prostitute in 18th century London because she coveted a red ribbon. She wears and becomes a Slammerkin, a loose dress for a loose woman. This historical fiction shows the consequences of this chosen path, the many chances she had to change this path, and the fitting ending as a consequence of this path.
"There was once a cobbler called Saunders who died for eleven days. At least, that was how his daughter remembered it."(opening lines)
"Eleven years later Mary Sauders was back on her knees, herself in gaol. Like father, like daughter."(2)
"The ribbon had been bright scarlet when Mary Saunders first laid eyes on It, back in London. 1760: she was thirteen years old."(7)
"Other girls seemed unburdened by ambition; most folks seemed content with their lot. Ambition was an itch in Mary's shoe, a maggot in her guts. Even when she read a book, her eyes skimmed and galloped over the lines, eager to reach the end."(19)
'A troubled shared is a trouble halved. Maybe she'd been bred up for this very purpose, to stand as a buffer between Susan Digot and her fate.'Like mother, like daughter."(23)
"Doll Higgins was always saying brutal things as if they were jokes. But for all her talk about every girl for herself, she did let Mary stay in her room for a fortnight, sharing her mattress, and brought her the occasional plate of bread and Yarmouth herrings, and the odd basin of icy water with a rag to clean herself as best as she could."(37)
"'Slammerkin. A loose dress for a loose woman. Ever noticed the words for us all sound drunk?" Doll put on an intoxicated slur.'Slovenly, slatternly sluts and slipshod, sleezy slammerkins that we are!'"(47)
"Because of course this was the only trade. Her eyes had been forced open. The fact was, there was nothing else a fourteen-year-old girl could do that would earn a fraction of what Mary was making, now she was hardened enough to stand up to the cullies and set her price."(55)
"Let it be a lesson to you, dear heart, never to pay poundage to any idle pimp or bawd. Every girl for herself, remember? Here's the first rule: Never give up your liberty."(70)
"Remember, sweetheart, you should go without a week of dinners sooner than pawn your last good gown. That was rule two: Clothes make the woman."(70)
"Clothes are the greatest lie every told."(71)
"As the bodied had to stay up for an hour, now was the time for the bringing out of the picnics. Doll produced a sweetbread pie, and Mary ate her half with a good enough appetite, though she kept glancing over her shoulder at where the Metyards hung, over the stained sawdust."(76)
"The Magdalen Hospital was an imposing block of stone. Hours after the line of petitioners had formed, it still stretched along two sides of the building. There had to be forty girls here..."(85)
"The Matron's eyes darkened with concern as she addressed them before breakfast:'This is your great opportunity to shed the past and start afresh.'Otherwise the rules were simple: No drink, lie-a-beds, swearing, gaming, quarreling, or indecency. No one is kept here against her will."(92)
"Thread seem to obey Mary; cloth lay down obediently at her touch. She couldn't imagine what the other girls found so difficult, or how they were so waylaid by snags and knots."(94)
"There was nothing to tell Mary how long Doll had been here, waiting with this ironical curve to her lips. Had she been hungry? Feverish? Too drunk to remember to go home at the end of the night? Too cold to feel how cold she was, or too old to fight it off any more? Had she not a friend in the world to come looking?"(115)
"Lying still in bed, she spared a thought for Daffy. Was he asleep, or lying awake cursing her? How her life might have changed all at once with the slip of a syllable, a simple yes. To be a wife and a mother in a small country town was the life millions led and other millions prayed for. What gave Mary the right to resent the dull round of domestic duties, to demand a life of silks and gold? What was the tapeworm in her stomach that always made her hunger for more?"(281)
'She thought of her body: the rubbery dampness of it. How it served her. How it wearied her."(283)
"As Mary climbed into bed, Abi held onto the hem of the blanket. She heard a faint clink: a chain, or a necklace, or a coin on another coin? Then the soft scraping of a bag being shoved back under the bed, and Mary lay down flat again."(293)

54. the GIRL who KICKED the HORNETS' NEST
Stieg Larsson 2007
Translated from the Swedish by Reg Keeland
This definitive conclusion to the Millennium Trilogy masterfully unravels most of Lisbeth Salander's convoluted cruel past, introduces many sub-plots and answers most of the questions from the last two books with the very riveting and satisfying last 100 pages.
'Dr. Jonasson was woken by Nurse Nicander five minutes before the helicopter was exxpected to land. It was just before I.30 in the morning.'(5)
'The axe isn't still in his head. I assume it was Salander who nailed him. His real name is Alexander Zalachenko and he's Lisbeth's father. He was a hit man for Russian military intelligence. He defected in the '70s and was then on the books of Sapo until the collapse of the Soviet Union. He's been running his own criminal network ever since.'(19)
'She was surprised to be alive. Yet she felt indifferent. If death was the black emptiness from which she had just woken up, then death was nothing to worry about. She would hardly notice the difference. With which esoteric thoughts she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.'(50)
'She has been called a psychopath, a murderer, and a lesbian Satanist. There has been almost no limit to the fantasies that have been circulated about her. In this issue, Millenium will tell the story of how government officials conspired against Salander in order to protect a pathological murderer...'(52)
'"The Section" was Francke's idea. He called it "the last line of defence". An ultra-secret unit that was given strategic positions within the Firm, but which was invinsible. It was never referred to in writing, even in budget memoranda, and therefore it could not be infiltrated.'(88)
'Teleborian's report from 1991 has been leaked, and it's potentially as serious threat as Zalachenko.'(113)
'She was afraid that it was a moral issue, and that was one of his weaknesses. He was Salander's friend. She knew her brother. She knew that he was loyal to the point of foolishness once he had made someone a friend, even if the friend was impossible and obviously flawed.'(178)
'Besides, he had--literally--rootled around in her brain. Someone who rummaged around in your brain had to be treated with respect. To her surprise she found the visits of Dr. Jonasson pleasant, despite the fact that he poked at her and fussed over her fever chart.'(181)
'It's not over. The conspiracy is continuing. It's the only way to explain the tapped telephones, the attack of Annika, and the double theft of the Salander report. Perhaps the murder of Zalachenko is a part of it too.'(190)
'Your job description as a journalist is to question and scrutinize most critically. And never to repeat claims uncritically, no matter how highly placed the sources in the bureaucracy. Don't ever forget that. You're a terrific writer, but the talent is completely worthless if you forget your job description.'(203)
'Putting a mobile telephone into an air vent inside a locked cleaning supplies room, turned on but not uplinked, was so crazy that Ghidi could not imagine what use it could be.'(223)
Her heart skipped a beat. It's my Palm. But how...In amazement she glanced over at the locked door. Jonasson was a catalogue of surprises. In great excitement she turned on the computer at once and discovered that it was password-protected.'(252)
'Hacker republic comprised a very exclusive club of the best of the best, an elite force that any defense organization in the world would have paid enormous sums to use for cyber-military purpose...'(258)
'The only person who can decide your future is you. It doesn't matter how hard Annika works for you, or how much Armansky and Palmgren and I, and others, try to support you.. I'm not going to try to convince you one way or the other. You've got to decide for yourself. You could turn the trial to your advantage or let them convict you. But if you want to win, you're going to have to fight.'(286)
'She had decided to go along with Blomkvist's plan. That was why she had written the plain, unvarnished truth about her life in a crackingly terse autobiography of forty pages. She had been quite precise. Everything she has written was true.' (375)
'And I guess that in some way I'm falling for you because you are who you are. It's easy to sleep with you because there's no bullshit and you make me feel safe.'(451)
'It was a question of credibility. She had come as herself and no-one else. Way over the top--for clarity. She was not pretending to be someone she was not. Her message to the court was that she had no reason to be ashamed or to put on a show. If the court had a problem with her appearance, it was no concern of hers.'(493)

53. the GIRL who PLAYED with FIRE
Stieg Larsson 2009Translated from Swedish by Reg Keeland
This very entertaining 2nd book of the Millennium Trilogy pairs yet again Mikael Blomkvist, publisher and Lisbeth Salander, brilliant computer hacker into proving Lisbeth's innocence after she becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a journalist and his girlfriend just before the couple was due to publish their book about sex trade in Sweden. Lisbeth has to solve the murder while confronting her dark past.
"She lay on her back fastened by leather straps to a narrow bed with a steel frame. The harness was tight across her rib cage. Her hands were manacled to the sides of the bed."(3)
"She had discovered that the most effective method of keeping fear at bay was to fantasize about something that gave her a feeling of strength. She closed her eyes and conjured up the smell of gasoline."(4)
"He had come to realize that she was a world-class hacker, and within an exclusive international community devoted to computer crime at the highest level--and not only to combating it--she was a legend. She was known online only as Wasp."(13)
"Bjurman wrote down the words All The Evil. The years in foster homes? Some particular attack?"(39)
"Of all the crimes involving the sex trade, 99.9 percent are not reported to the police, and those that are hardly ever lead to change. This has got to be the biggest iceberg of all in the Swedish criminal world." (73)
"The theme of the May issue is the sex trade. The point we have to make is that trafficking is a crime against human rights and that these criminals must be exposed and treated like war criminals or death squads or torturers anywhere in the world."(75)
"In this sense there is a sort of gender perspective to my thesis. It's not often that a researcher can establish roles along gender lines so clearly. Girls--victims; boys--perpetrators."(79)
"She felt that some fundamental change had taken place or was taking place in her life. Maybe it was having access to billions of kronor and not having to think about every krona she spent. Maybe it was the adult world which was belatedly pushing its way into her life."(84)
"Mimmi and Salander did not have the same taste in clothes, furniture, or intellectual stimulation. Correction: Mimmi had taste and definite views on how she wanted her living quarters to look, what kind of furniture she wanted, and what sort of clothes one should wear. Salander had no taste whatsoever, Mimmi realized."(109)
"Dear Lisbeth, I'm writing this letter and leaving it on my hard drive knowing that sooner or later you'll read it...The events of the past few days have linked us again, whether you like or not...Help me. Please. What's the connection? Mikael."(250)
"What is she trying to say? Is Zala the link between Bjurman and Dag and Mia? How? Why? Who is he? And how did Salander know that? How is she involved?"(270)
"She was irritated by the passport photograph that appeared everywhere. She looked stupid."(311)
"As Salander watched Teleborian's face on TV, her heart became a little lump of ice. She wondered whether he still used the same disgusting aftershave. He had been responsible for what was defined as her care."(316)
"He had a state-endorsed mandate to tie down disobedient little girls with leather straps."(317)
"There are no innocents. There are, however, different degrees of responsibility."(323)
"It was completely impossible to box with her. She had only one style, which we called Terminator Mode. She would try to nail her opponent, and it didn't matter if it was just a warm-up of friendly sparring."(338)
"Paolo Roberto backed up, breathed as steadily as he could, and took stock. He's no boxer. He moves like a boxer, but he can't box for shit. He's only pretending. He can't block. He telegraphs his punches. Ans he's slow as a tortoise."(384)
