Pete's family are avid readers. It's not uncommon for his mother to pull out a book while the family is watching TV. They are a reading family. [Except for Pete, of course] My family on the other hand, we are not readers. I didn't grow up with a mother who was actively involved in a book club or a dad who loved to read mysteries. Therefore, I am not a reader.
I received The Hunger Games for Christmas this year. I recently started hearing all of the uproar about this book but never really thought to give it a chance. I gave in to the read mostly because I had the book on hand and when you are in the car for 12 hours you have got to occupy yourself somehow. I haven't been able to put this book now since Tuesday. The Hunger Games has kept my attention, people! My attention is something that is very hard to keep especially with a book. I am pleased to announce that I will continue reading The Hunger Games and the rest of the trilogy.
Maybe reading isn't all that boring.
