    I’m a big John Grisham fan. I read The Confession last summer. GREAT book, it is about a young man that confessed to a murder he didn’t commit.

    I also just finished The Litigators. It was good but not great. As an attorney I enjoyed it, I’m not sure how others would see it. It is about a young attorney that had a nervous breakdown, quit his big law firm and started working for a little two person firm ran by ambulance chasers. It is his attempt at comedy. I give it a 7 out of 10.

    Now I’m in the Games of Thrones Series. A Song of Fire and Ice was awesome. Just started the second book.

    I read the Hunger Games trilogy a couple of weeks ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It gets compared a lot to the Twilight series, which is unfair because Suzanne Collins is a much better writer than Stephenie Meyer (though I enjoyed the Twilight series for what it was--a fun read).

    The Hunger Games trilogy is much deeper, and Katniss Everdeen is a far better female character than Bella Swan. She's a strong woman.

    The Hunger Games should NEVER be compared to the Twilight Series. I liked the movie a lot, I plan on reading the series before the next movie comes out.

    wjray .-.. ..- -.- .

    I just finished the first one. Excellent book. But then again, I'm a sucker for a dystopian story.

    Last year:

    The Hunger Games... Loved the series

    The Rho Agenda Trilogy, third book comes out in November

    Neuromancer
    Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

    I read the John Carter series, actually liked the Movie more than the books... The books are a bit slow, and leave lots to the imagination.

    The Girl Next Door was a very disturbing book.

    Nothing like the Will Smith movie "I am Legend."

    Good book, but Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was much better.

    I still like the Charlton Heston version better.
