The cC Read A Book Thread

[Haunwulf]

Going to start reading The Hunger Games. My best friend and girlfriend both say they loved it, so they forced it upon me. But hell, I'll give it a shot.

I remember reading the first book. Brother forced me to read it :l. Didn't bother reading the sequel or third though, Just because I had other things to do. But it was pretty great. Same with The Maze, But that's probably because I fucking love birds or some crap



Spoiler;
There are kats in the story.

rename thread "Ayn Rand is for tools"


ontopic: I've been reading a lot of In Cold Blood recently, and I'm find it to be pretty good (despite my usual aversion to "true crime" things) and I'm pretty excited to get to the end.

Did anyone ever happen to read a book called Shade's Children?

I read it a couple times in high school and it was cool.

I had to google "kids live in submarine in future" to remember the title.
So you now you know half of what it's about.
