That Aaron Paul Lazar Chatty mentions is a good writer. I'm enjoying "Healey's Cave," so much. I can't wait to get back at it. Only half way through but it's one excellent read. whistle

I haven't gotten around to reading those yet. The trilogy is on my list to read. I got caught up in the Game of Thrones series and read all 5 books over the last few months. I'm currently reading Diana Gabaldon's The Scottish Prisoner. Once that is finished, I might try the Hunger Games trilogy. Although from what I have read, I'm not sure it would interest me; I'll check it out.

Cross,
I haven't heard of those "Hunger Games." But that trilogy title peaks interest. I'm currently reading a book by Diana Gabaldon.
This gal writes some fat books. And it takes a while to get through just one of hers. This Diana has an imagination to top all imaginations. She should leave her brain to science; what an intellectual. What R the Hunger Games about, Cross?

The Hunger Games are set in the future, the main character is a 17 year old girl, the country is divided into districts and each district picks one girl and one boy to go to an arena and fight for survival. It's different from my usual read but so was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and I thoroughly enjoyed that series and can't wait to see the movie. There is also a movie of The Hunger Games coming out some time next year I think.

Thanks, Cross. It does sound interesting and different. I'll have to look it up when I finish these Gabaldon books.

I'm reading Ride to Raton, the second book in the Owen Family Saga series by Marsha Ward. (The first is The Man from Shenandoah.) The books take place in the old west, after the Civil War, and they have no sex or profanity. The thing I'm enjoying most about them is the dialogue, but the characters are interesting too. They're fun reads.

I've read all 3 of The Hunger Games Books too. Scary to think of the world becomming like that. I normally read the same fiction most of us read but once in awhile I like odd things. These were odd! smile By looking at it on some movie site I like the looks of the girl they got to play Katniss and the little girl who plays Rue is a cutie. Woody Harrelson is playing Haymitch, perfect casting there. I'm not much of a movie goer but this one I'll have to see.

What did you think of them?

I must admit I didn't read The Hunger Games. I read descriptions of the books and the subject matter just didn't appeal to me. I have read too many 'dark' books lately and need to find something much lighter for a break.

Just finished a book I got for Christmas last year. It's a good one. Called "Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter, by Lisa Patton. Check it out. Great story and the next one will be out sometime next year early.
