What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I just started Return from Manzanaar, as I think it's called. It's about a Japanese girl who was sent to a camp in the US during WWII, pretty good so far.

I'm read the Official Movie Companion for The Hunger Games. It's my last book from the series, honest! \:D/

That must mean it's the last HG book available that you haven't read yet.

I'm reading Scorpia Rises out of the Alex Rider Series, and Climbing about and written by Rosalind Goforth. P.S. I want that last name. ;)

There's also a parody book called "The Hunger Pains", but it's not official, so I don't really care for it. "The World of the Hunger Games" is coming out next month. I'll probably end up buying that. ;)

The Hunger Pains, oh that sounds great. :-

It's coming out next month? So I would assume that means it has a lot to do with the movie?

Well, according to Amazon, it's a good bridge between the book and the movie.
This is the definitive, full-color guide to Panem. Gorgeous photographs from the movie make this a rich visual dictionary for the incredible world that Suzanne Collins created and that has come to life on the big screen. It showcases the major players and participants in The Hunger Games, the life and home of Katniss Everdeen, and the perils of the Games themselves — injuries, fire, muttations, and all the rest. A glossary and new quotes from Suzanne Collins herself complete the package. Fans of both the Hunger Games novels and the stunning forthcoming film will treasure this book.

Wow, you are really into this, AE. \:D/

Middle of Catching Fire. Pretty good. Maybe not as good as the first one so far, but it's good.
