Just finished reading Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games -- excellent post apocalyptic fiction with touches of Jackson's The Lottery, Connell's The Most Dangerous Game and Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau.   Good entertainment! 

I now have the third and final book of the series Mockingjay at my elbow and am waiting impatiently for the arrival of the second book Catching Fire so I might read them in order. 

I so hope that #s 2 & 3 are as engaging as the first volume.  I may even take up archery!

UPDATE!

I got a copy of Catching Fire on Friday and read both it and Mockingjay before dinner on Saturday.  Well written.  Highly recommended.

The City & The City, China Mieville -- -- odd, requires a suspension of disbelief that is too far beyond me and I like scifi & fantasy -- this wasn't either,  the author wasted a third of the book trying to set a mysterious scene which was glaringly obvious to me by page ten -- not a good sign -- NOT RECOMMENDED

Winter's Bone, Debra Granik -- -- dark, very tightly written, very engaging, just crying to be the first book in a series -- RECOMMENDED

I'm about to start reading the 13th Dresden Files novel by Jim Butcher, Ghost Story.  I've spent the last three weeks reading the first 12 books in the series.  Excellent.  :)

Currently reading "Maybe Tomorrow" by Boori Monty Pryor & Meme McDonald. It's for a social studies class at uni and will have to write an essay on it shortly :|

It's an autobiography of an indigenous Australian who grew up around the city I live in. It's mainly about his efforts to maintain and promote indigenous culture and educate younger generations, as well as biographical stuff about his childhood and family, and the challenges of racism and social acceptance.

Not a bad read

Book 6 will be the best. Every single character is somewhere interesting at the end of book 5.

I think the sixth will rival the third.

nothing. I need a new book!
