I read HG last summer and was totally irritated. It's one of the few books I have read where I liked the movie better. <br /><br />I do like some popular literature. This one, well, let's just say one book was quite enough. I couldn't wait to finish it. Even as a quick read, it wasn't quick enough. <br /><br />Maybe there's no accounting for taste, as my father would say, but then I kind of read everything and anything without any logic to it--from a Stephen King a few weeks ago to this marathon book Jimmy liked about magicians (it was 900 pages) to Carson McCullers to right now, Portrait of a Lady, which I am surprised to like the second time around--I had forgotten the book --and now I just like the everlasting sentences. <br /><br />I guess I just want to enjoy a book while I read it. And I didn't enjoy Hunger Games. It was all plot. Not that I dislike plot . . .Nin Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643167108589844026noreply@blogger.com
