i had to read part one of the hunger games during my exchange in the US for a class. i liked it, it was really easy to read. however, i didn't really like part two and three, they just basically suck..and i agree with sammy, i think i wouldn't read them again...

Dont suppose anyone can recommend some really good reads? I read pretty much anything, don't have a favourite genre or anything.. Considering I've never stopped buying books recently I'm running out at a ridiculous rate.. book addict.

Game of thrones?  I'm waiting for the next book to come out... I quite like the way they're written. I kept on saying to myself "Just one more chapter and then I'll stop". To me that's a good thing when reading a book.

I'm reading The Hunger Games too and i'm enjoying it but it is nowhere near as good as what I had heard. The writing isn't anything spectacular and although it is enjoyable, it is not something i'd read more than once (which is saying something as i re-read a lot of books)

I'd not even heard of it/that it was gonna be this big film thing, was pleasantly surprised!) another trilogy called Fallen, some odd books here and there.. every free book that sounded half decent on my kindle.. some Dan Brown, Dean Koontz, more Stephen King, some books on spiritualism, some girly wirly books. I read The Woman in Black too actually, it was really good - I've not seen the film or the stage show, just heard about it. It surprised me how 'creepy' the book actually was.

Oh wow a book inspired by anti-flag, that sounds cool! Would you mind sending me the PDF too? :) (adelka.p.1@seznam.cz) I will be happy to review it after I read it :)

Btw...Has anyone read Trial by Franz Kafka? I´ve just finished it...and it seems so...weird to me! It doesn´t really make any sense, I could only really feel the SO frustrating atmosphere. So confusing! But pretty good I guess at the same time xD I definitely recommend it

Speaking of Stephen King, I always loved The Talisman, which he wrote together with Peter Straub.

I'm kind of looking for stuff that's more fictional these days, whereas before I used to read more non-fictional stuff.

I'm in to multiple different types of Fictional books, so just recommend me anything Fictional that's maybe more aimed at Young Adults, or can still appeal to the Young Adults alot. Cause I want something that's going to bore me because I can't understand, and I want something I can relate to more, which what I'd find more of if I go with my age group.

I just want to get more into reading, to give me something else to do for fun sometimes.
