You know, I haven't. I've read Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This thread is really showing me how I haven't even come close to exhausting Roald's brilliance.

Both are "young geeks take on the bureaucracy" books; Little Brother is political & FTW is corporate. Little Brother's won a number of awards; FTW's been nominated for at least one. They're both excellent, fun reads. |
Grabbed them both. Thanks so much. Phew! I should be set with reading material for a while now. Thanks everyone!

Thumbs up to this. I absolutely loved this one. Will you be lining up for Mockingjay in a couple of weeks? I'm excited to see if it gets crazy at all. I'm also looking forward to the movie too. Thanks for your suggestion!
