Just so you know, these weekly "What are you reading" threads are a longtime tradition in the Fiction group, ever since it was started some years ago on DU2. I just happen to be the latest person to take on this task, and it was pretty much unintentional, to be honest. If you go back to the beginnings of this group, there have always been different folks who have taken on starting the weekly thread. It just happened to fall on me for the past several months - and it's been great fun to do them!
However, ANYONE is welcome to start the weekly thread, and if some Sunday comes along and I'm occupied elsewhere, I do hope someone else will step up and start the thread. My only unique contribution is that, as a host, I have the "powers" to pin the new thread and unpin the previous week's thread. But there are two other hosts who can also exercise this "power". 
I'm happy to hear that you've found GoodReads to be a useful resource. Personally, what I enjoy about it most is reading the readers' reviews. I can waste enormous amounts of time reading them - although I make it a point not to read reviews of a book I'm reading until after I've finished it.
I can't remember exactly when I read Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy (must have been around 2008/2009) - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo being #1 of the series - but it set me off (like millions of other readers) on a binge of Scandinavian Crime Fiction, for which I will be always be grateful. One of my happiest discoveries was the Icelanic author, Arnaldur Indriðason, whom I very nearly worship.
So, do read the three Stieg Larsson books! I don't think you'll regret it! And then, if you feel so disposed, I'd more than happy to share my other favorite Scandinavian crime fiction authors with you - I have a list!
