The Hunger Games

Eh. I read it, but I'm not sure I liked it very much. The book pulled its punches WAY too much. The main characters weren't really forced to do anything horrible. For almost the entire book, they sit and wait in a cave. This book is exactly what I thought it would be....a watered down version of Battle Royale with a hint of Twilight-esque romance/teenage lust

I really love Dracula, even if (or perhaps because of the fact that) it sometimes reads like Bram Stoker is working out some sexual fetishes under the guise of railing against them.


Anyway, reading the second to the last Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser book Swords and Ice Magic by Fritz Leiber.

I just finished listening to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was good. Not great, but I think that at least part of that had to do with listening to it rather than reading it...not enough time sometimes for the jokes to sink in or hit home or to really laugh at them, because there aren't many pauses.

I read the entire HHGTTG series five times through in high school. Love the books, especially the first two (3-5 have good points to them, but the first two are classic), and the big thing I say to new readers is read the first two one after the other as t's one big story and the only reason book one ends where it does is because Douglas Adams was way behind schedule and the publisher just told him to finish where he was at and call it complete!

It started as a radio show (which is also great) and the first book it basically the first 2/3rds of the first series storyline and the second book is an expanded version of the last 3rd with bits of the second series mixed in.
