Enjoy Hunger Games, P-C!
I'm currently reading Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie, and my god is the man verbose. The book is apparently the story of the life of Saleem Sinai, who, on page 107, hasn't been born yet.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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."

If there's two of us, maybe we are on to something...
or we could form a movement...

really liked this book, even though it was hard to read.
I just gave in to temptation and kindled the 27th Dozios SF collection. I could have chosen so many books. I did this why? Because it was 3am. That's what I'm going to tell people.

"Because it was 3am" is a fairly good reason for just about anything, I think,

Katniss IS awesome. I'm glad you're liking it so far!!
Midnight's Children is also very good so far! A lot of words and I feel like I'll never get through it, but I'm enjoying what I've read.

Katniss IS awesome.
She is! I want her to KILL THEM ALL. And then I realize what it is exactly I am wanting and feel kind of bad.

Right? It was a weird feeling for me too. I obviously wanted her to win, but... all those dead children is just so sad. How far are you?
Also, that was QUITE a journey you had to go through to get a copy of Midnight's Children!

Six or seven chapters in, right after she scores an eleven and Peeta decides to be coached separately. I'm enjoying learning how the Games work, but I'm anxious to get to the actual fighting! I knew next to nothing about the books before reading, so everything's been a surprise.
