(Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander, in the recent movie. I haven't seen the movie yet. Source)I've read the first two books, and can't wait for the final book's American release later this summer. I am trying to channel Lisbeth not only because she's a B.A. that takes names, but also because she's an amazing and competent researcher. She loves to find out information, many times just for the sake of learning, and she writes the most comprehensive and clear reports as well. (Did I mention that she can take down bad dudes, despite being less than 5 ft. tall?)
So I'm not super amazing Lisbeth and I lack her B.A. motorcycle jacket, her hacking skills, and general brilliance, I am channeling her fearlessness and her amazing research skills. Like Lizbeth, I am staying up late, working on a weird schedule, and thinking non-stop about my research (OK, maybe with slightly less focus). While maybe Sally would not wear wear this Murakami shirt, maybe she'd appreciate it.

In addition, I'm quite sure that Lisbeth would have a similar work space, although maybe she'd work more from a sofa or on the floor.
(She'd also approve of my major intellectual crush on the late Steig Larsson, but that's a story for another time).
