Hullo all! This is The Night Faery, guild captain and admitted nerd, with a new source of discussion: books! Because they are awesome. So I'm making this thread to discuss different books of all types --including some Wonderland-related, and some very much unrelated. I'll try to get a new book posted every week, and the topic will be open to everyone to discuss and compare. But please, try to keep big plot spoilers out of your posts, or discuss them in white text. Thank you!!
Current Book of the Week: The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins
The setting is a dystopian future, where a decadent Capitol run by conniving President Coriolanus Snow controls twelve districts of impoverished citizens. Seventy-four years ago a rebel uprising was crushed by the Capitol, and as punishment for their rebellion, each district was forced to send two children, one girl and one boy, to fight to the death in the Hunger games, where every year twenty-three children die and one is named the victor. Katniss Everdeen, a strong young woman from the underdog District Twelve, must enter the Games and choose her path wisely, or die.
I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. If you have a weak stomach for violence, you may want to step away, but the novel promises beautiful writing, defined characters and a haunting action/adventure/sci-fi/romance story. (The sequels, Catching Fire and Mockingjay, are amazing as well-- I received them as gifts, and spent from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 the following morning finishing them both.)
