Part 1: I am thrilled to have a three-day weekend! Of course for all the normal reasons: I get to sleep late, be lazy, skip work ... But even better - I am going to finish the sequel to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The first novel was one of the best of the year. I will write more later, but I must stop writing and start reading.
Part 2: 3 days later and I find I am still not done with this book. It is quite intense and thought-provoking and it's not the kind of book I can fly through. The characters are so well drawn and face so many physical and emotional challenges that it's sometimes difficult to participate in this story - yet I must keep reading. Truly one of the most interesting reads I've had lately.
