"There&amp;#x27;s a theory that everyone has secrets, and I guess I&amp;#x27;m no different...I just started reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Normally I&amp;#x27;m extraordinarily snobby about what I read, and I wouldn&amp;#x27;t think about picking up anything that could be labeled a thriller. (Hey, listen, we&amp;#x27;re all snobby about something. What are you snobby about?) But I figured since this was Swedish, and the Swedes are hardly thrilling (have you ever seen a Volvo?), it didn&amp;#x27;t count. And in the beginning of the book, the girl with the dragon tattoo herself, who is a kind of private investigator, says that everyone has secrets. Do you agree? When she&amp;#x27;s pressed on it, she says that the substance of the secret may not be very controversial. But everyone has information they want to keep private. I agree with this. I don&amp;#x27;t have anything particular to be private about. There is no information that, if it came to light, would cause (too much) trouble. But there are little rooms in my brain that I like to keep for myself. (Here are one person&amp;#x27;s ideas about five secrets all guys keep from you.) Even if it&amp;#x27;s what I talked about at lunch with my old friend from high school. Even if it&amp;#x27;s other people&amp;#x27;s secrets. I&amp;#x27;m not going to tell you what my secrets are. And yes, I can sometimes feel as if I&amp;#x27;m being deceptive when I ward off prying questions from Blossoms. But it&amp;#x27;s my theory that having a (mental) place that&amp;#x27;s entirely mine makes me a better husband. Makes me more romantic. Without some privacy, I feel, there can be no intimacy. Contradictory, but true. Do you agree? Do you keep secrets? What are they? Do you feel guilty about them?
