Argh! I just finished Hunger Games last night...
Dawn: You're not fleeing. You're... moving at a brisk pace. Buffy: Quaintly referred to in some cultures as the Big Scaredy Run Away.
'Touched'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Feeling a lot of sadness and frustration, Jesse? I was right where you are a week ago.

Annoyed that I didn't get all three books before I started!

I picked up Mockingjay from the library Saturday, but then I accidentally got caught up in The Mist on television and felt in danger of a bleak overdose.

I can't decide what to do about The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, currently waiting for me at the library!

Ooh, I've been meaning to read all those books as well. I've seen the movie of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but I think I want to read them all before I watch the other two movies. And then brace myself for what is sure to be the inferior American remake.

Because books.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is still on my shelf. I need to get past that first part, but I just haven't been able to do it yet.
Almost done with Catching Fire, though. It's breaking my heart.

My mom's bringing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo when she flies out next week--I'm looking forward to reading it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
zuisa, I get what you're saying about being confident that Peeta has learned to control the rage, but the text didn't provide me with the level of evidence that would have satisfied me. Maybe that's sloppy storytelling, or maybe I set too high a bar.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
the part of Mockingjay ending that pinged "hope" to me was that Katniss and Peeta found a balance, were living together in harmony, and that their children (the future) were living in a world without hunger games and with a better future to look forward to. In spite of all the horrible things that happened, there was a future for the next generation without the same kind of torment K & P had suffered.
