"I thought that some of the metaphysical imagery was really effective. Oh, and interesting rhythmic devices too, which seemed to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor of the humanity of the Vogonity of the compassionate soul which contrives through the medium of the verse structure to sublimate this, transcend that, and come to terms with the fundamental dichotomies of the other and one is left with a profound and vivid insight into whatever it was the poem was about."

So, has anyone here read The Hunger Games? It seems to be the next Twilight among female young adult readers, but, as it sounds like it's more Battle Royale than glittery vamps, is it a story that dudes might enjoy? (I hear it's got plenty of kill or be killed violence.)

So you wanna be a Monorail pilot? Check out this manual from 1966.

Lemme know how much it's changed, Wolfy

I read the series after my daughter read them. She's currently 17 - read them a few years ago? My son, now 13, has also read them. We all enjoyed them.
