So what book you may ask...first let me say, no vampires, werewolves or any kind of science fiction creatures, and it is not a romance novel either! I guess it is considered Young Adult Science Fiction since it is set in the unknown future where the world has evolved in a intriguing way. The best analogy I can make right now, it makes me feel like I did the first time I read "Holes" by Louis Sachar; wondering at first why I am reading such a depressing book, then just intrigued by the ideas of humanity; what would I do if I was raised in this world? how far can you go to save yourself? if it is survival, is it murder? and what makes a culture accept things that I consider completely barbaric? and yet there are things like that in our real world today...but a completely different posting would have to be written for that.
Perhaps all the ideas I am currently studying, of how people behave in organizational setting, is also influencing my love of these books. It is an easy read (unless you keep stopping like me and contemplating the characters and situations...lol) and definately written to the young adult genre. I hope if you do decide to give it a shot, make sure you get past the first few chapters and let me know what you think. Good reading!
Yay, you live! ;->
ReplyDeleteSounds like your love of books is feeding an emerging obsession. Run with it! As long as it is fun and doesn't become burdensome, use it to thrive.
Thanks for sharing your book intro. I'll admit, you've got me intrigued. So that leads to two questions:
1) Can I borrow "The Hunger Games" when you are done?
2) Can I read your paper after you are done writing it?
It would be interesting to discuss with you after we've both studied it!
YAY...thanks for commenting sis!
ReplyDeleteSure you can borrow it, just ask dad to give it to you when he is done.
As for the paper, you are welcome to read it. But you probably will want to read the book first, if you don't want spoilers.
Okay! 1st borrow from Dad, 2nd borrow from Holly. I think I can do that. ;->
ReplyDeleteI think it's great you've discovered this book! It's been on my list for quite awhile to read. Everybody in the writing world has been amazed and astounded by it. On to "Catching Fire" when you're done, eh?
ReplyDeleteAnd might I suggest Paper Towns by John Green? I think it's one you would really enjoy. :)
Never heard of it. I ran out of Amazon gift cards to buy books for my Kindle with, so if it's not in the free books section the chances of it catching my eye are slim. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds interesting, though, and I'm bound to get more gift cards for Christmas. I will put it on my list. :D
Also, YAY! MY YOUNG SPROUT LIVES!!! *happy dance*
Sounds like a interesting read, will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteWell, I read it. It made a much greater impression than I had ever expected. So much so that I too wrote about it.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to read your paper for Organizational Behaviors class. Then have a long, involved discussion with you on the book, your paper, and both blog posts.
Thank you very much for the recommendation!
