I enjoyed the first book, but haven't read the next two. I have the video of Hunger Games and want to see how well it follows the book. Has anyone seen it?

I've owned all three books of the Hunger Games for some time now and I still haven't even got to the stage where they're in a reading schedule. They're just waiting in the big bin for the moment.
I'm sure I'll get to them eventually. |

Finished up The Andromeda Strain, going back to finish Resurrection Inc., which I believe is Kevin J. Anderson's first published novel.
btw: I noticed that several of Crichton's early books are now marked (Vintage), I'm assuming because they're older works. |

When they announced the cast, I thought that was the furthest to what I'd imagined them in my head. I can't say I enjoyed the movie. Well, the oldest problem with adaption movies is that everyone has it different in their mind, isn't it? |

While these books both were pleasant enough to read, neither forced me to stay awake longer to read them. Stitchawl |

Also, Spoiler:
Next up: Assault on the Gods by Steve Goldin (sgoldin), as I've enjoyed a couple of his other republished books, and he has this one on special offer at the moment. And I can't help but approve of his choice of usename. |

Completely unplanned reading.
I was checking the Indie freebies today and found "You Only Die Twice," by Christopher Smith. I read 5 [short] chapters on my computer and found that I couldn't wait to continue to read it, so I downloaded it onto my Kindle. It's free, by the way, and is available from Amazon.
