I got The Hunger Games out of the library this weekend, and read it in one sitting. I'd been avoiding it beforehand for some vague reason, but your repeated praise convinced me, and I'm glad it did.

It's grim and true. Sure, it's not very original, but original isn't actually very important...
is pretty much how I ended up feeling about it. So thank you again for the recommendation.

One of the best stylists I've encountered lately was, to my surprise, a YA novelist (Franny Billingsley, The Folk Keeper). (I was surprised partly because the cover for that novel is quite mismarketed and makes the book look appropriate for second-graders or thereabouts, when in fact it's extremely dark.)

And sticking. Fuck me. Which reminds me, I neglected to mention last night's sex dream involving quantum entanglement.
That was an awesome segue.
