Happy birthday to the legendary Stieg Larsson, whose gripping Millennium series continues to captivate millions. Your novel, "Luftslottet som sprängdes" (The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest), still keeps readers up late at night wondering how Lisbeth Salander escapes yet another impossible situation. Clearly, you've set a high bar for suspense and mystery—if book-induced insomnia was an Olympic sport, you'd take gold every year.Though you sadly aren't celebrating with us today in person, your extraordinary talent is reflected brightly through each thrilling page left behind. Here's raising a toast: May your legacy forever inspire coffee-fueled crime fiction binges worldwide!
