The Hunger Games 2 by Veronica Roth Isn't it also Harry Potter 2? Imperial Chinese Concubine Hunger Games in Future Dystopia America by Kiera Cass That sounds rather interesting. If it's set in future America, just how do the Chinese concubines get into it?

The Hunger Games 2 by Veronica Roth Isn't it also Harry Potter 2? How is it Harry Potter 2? In HP, a child is raised in an abusive household away from where they belong. In Divergent, a teenage is raised with their family who, in my opinion, take pretty good care of her and I guess that you could say that she belonged in Dauntless, but she's Divergent; Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite?

Imperial Chinese Concubine Hunger Games in Future Dystopia America by Kiera Cass That sounds rather interesting. If it's set in future America, just how do the Chinese concubines get into it? That was more of a description of how the characters and the story played out in The Selection trilogy. It's similar, in the sense that each person tries to sabotage the other's efforts to appeal to the spoiled crown prince: injuring the others with shards of glass, ripping out important court dresses, blackmail and tons of other stuff. And just like in ancient China, there is tons of torture/interrogation *ehm*, mainly because of love affairs between the ladies and the servants. You should read the series. It's cool, although it might be a bit too teenager-like for your taste.

Bloated Tripe by Jane Austen, Harper Lee, George Orwell, Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, John Steinbeck, CS Lewis, John Irving, William Golding, Herman Melville, etc. full disclosure, i was fronting the potato out of all these authors at the time and had not actually read any Herman Merville, only heard awful things from some friends. now that i'm reading Moby Dick i have to partially retract my statement. Herman Melville is effin boss.

I agree that Austen, Lee and Lewis are overrated, but I like Orwell, Dickens and Steinbeck. I haven't read any of the others, although I've heard bad things about Golding and good things about Melville. I once started reading a book by Irving because I'd had it recommended, but it didn't catch my interest. I don't really feel I can judge it for that, though, as it was while I was kind of in a reading slump. I've heard Hardy's name before, but that is literally all I remember about him.

A friend of mine is currently reading Moby Dick and he finds the minute, technical descriptions of whales and ships pretty tiresome. At the same time I have a lecture where we discussed Moby Dick for a session or two and the professor (who knows his salsa) says it's one of his faves, and that the tone of the books shifts pretty heavily halfway through. I hope to tackle it someday, but probably not anytime soon.
