Hunger Games Fever

Finished Hunger Games and found it very entertaining. Plowing through a hundred pages a day. The book was a bit predictable but it is targeted towards a younger audience. I can see where the controversy lies as it is much like The Lord of the Flies. I haven't read the second book, but I am thinking it touches more on the government structure. I would not mind seeing the Hunger Games movie to see how it was adapted to the book. Anyone want to go?

Decided to try another Neal Stephenson book with Snow Crash. I know the read will not be like Hunger Games but it has gotten rave reviews. I will see for myself.

In games, I've been playing a bit of Kingdoms of Amalur and thus far a bit hooked. But with Witcher 2 around the corner this game may also take a back seat. I will have a few games to catch up on when the gaming season slows down in the summer.
