Well, the first book was a pretty big success I'd say. And the next one will be thrown out in the near future. Mel is picking next, and will present it in the next week or two.
A few reminders: if you want to receive an email for new comments as they're posted, just let me know. Also, if you ever want to post anything here independent of the current conversation, just email it to me (i.e. book websites or thoughts) and I'll put it up here for you.
Happy Reading kids...
I'll leave you with a cat fighting a watermelon. It was going to be Puppies Dressed as Cats... but NBC sucks.

First book... go!
Jen throws out the first book for our reading pleasure:
The Hunger Games
~ Suzanne Collins
Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
Jen says we should read it because:
"Read it because it's good. I can't think of any real intellectual comments to make."
So.. go forth, read it. Comments here on what you think.. feel free to post during reading or after you've read it. Fair warning on spoilers/plot points, if you're going to give something away, let folks know you're going to; that way they can wait till they've read it.
