George Orwell. Pretty much anything but as always 1984. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. One of the best spy novels around. The movie was good but it glossed over a hell of a lot to make it fit into 2 hrs, including the credits. Since you mentioned Hunger Games, one on my future reading list is Battle Royale. The general consensus is that HG has the better protagonist and emotional side while BR is about the horror/brutality/paranoia as well as the true nature of people. As such HG is geared to young women while BR is not. The Hunt for Red October is a great read. The movie is quite good but it lacked depth and is more of an action movie. The premise of the movie was 'oh my God he is going to launch and start a war!'. Well. No. If that was the goal all they had to do was launch everything at Europe and devastate it all. Buh bye. A pretty big plot hole and something dealt with quickly and discarded. So the premise of the book is significantly different. World War Z is quite good. Forget you ever saw Brad Pitt. Only thing in common is the title. The premise of the book is that it is an historical account of a war that was already fought and won using interviews of survivors discussing the prelude, the war, and the aftermath. So not a zombie action movie. Spoiler: the zombies lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

LoL sexist some women are smarter then some boys for where there is a will is a way to learn Oh my experience is certainly that in general women are smarter than men, health medical papers eh? Rosie never fails to surprise. I have no interest in medicine but enjoy engineering science and physics. I have not read a book now for two years, after devouring thousands in my lifetime due to eye problems, miss them, tried audiobooks but not the same.

Stephen King and Anne Rice are some favorites. Tolkien and CS Lewis. PC Cast Karen Marie Moaning. Christine Feehan Koontz I'm currently reading The Vampire Diaries. (Yeah I love it and you can suck it) I read Game of Thrones Twilight Series True Blood and honestly the list just gets longer and longer. I honestly am an avid reader and love it.
