Oh yes. 
Same girl. Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy ("The Girl Who ..." novels) are apparently the best things to come out of Sweden since ABBA. I liked the first movie, and then read the first and second novels. It was all very intriguing. I decided to learn Swedish, since it sounds so much like English. So far it is not proving too difficult. I have read that it is easier to learn another language if you already speak more than one.
The best thing, though, to come out of Sweden is, in my opinion, Noomi Rapace. She plays the eponymous Girl, Lisbeth Salander, who has a skewed set of morals and doesn't take much shit from anybody. If she does take shit from you, then you'd best be running and hiding because she will either totally fuck you up, or just kill you.
The character is described as pansexual; so far I have enjoyed seeing Noomi Rapace (as Lisbeth Salander) seduce an older male journalist and writhe on the floor with another girl. Which totally turns me on. As a character who is a hacker with a vigilante mindset and no willingness to be seen as a victim, she has fulfilled my fantasies of strong women.
Also, I think Noomi Rapace is incredibly sexy. I love seeing her embody this character, who does things I wish I were able to do if I were as skilled with technology, and had such an extreme black/white good/evil all-or-nothing mindset.
Excuse me now while I find my lube and vibrator.
