Just finished Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games book. Very good premise. The writing, again, isn't awful. It's about what I expected of a Young Adult book...vastly superior to the Twilight saga, short of Harry Potter, but about equal to the Percy Jackson books.
Having a 13-year-old sister apparently puts a lot of YA books into my hands. They tend to take a few hours to read, and aren't a horrible waste of time.
As soon as I finish Mockingjay...which I'll start and finish today, I'd imagine...I'm going on a Thomas Pynchon read-a-thon. I really wonder how my brain will cope with Thomas Pynchon after being pumped full of young adult books...
