 | From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor I don't need anything else to read. The summer days are growing shorter and my books-to-read stack is growing taller. That, of course, does not mean that I won't be adding to the stack. In fact, I just see it as a challenge. | |
'The Hunger Games Trilogy' by Suzanne Collins
I'm a bit behind on this one. The third and final installment of Collins's acclaimed trilogy, Mockingjay, is hitting the bookshelves today, and I haven't even read the first two. Our reviewer, Mike Sullivan, swears that the books are appropriate for everyone from young adults to seniors, and that the prose surpasses anything that Stephenie Meyer (Twilight) or J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) has ever produced. Sounds like a good weekend marathon read to me!
| 'Packing for Mars' by Mary Roach
I have quite enjoyed Mary Roach's last three nonfiction works (Stiff, Spook, and Bonk) and, as someone who spent the first six years of her life wanting to be an astronaut, I look forward to her quirky take on space travel.
| A Fairy Tale Day...
Want something classic, possibly scary, with a little romance and lots of fantasy? Don't forget about fairy tales -- the original short stories. They're always fun to revisit and read with the whole family.
| 'Eat, Pray, Love' Movie Review
Long story short: our reviewer didn't much like it. It either didn't translate well from book to screen or perhaps it just wasn't destined to work on film no matter what. At any rate, I'll still probably see it, but I might hold off on paying 17 kajillion dollars (or whatever movies cost these days) and wait until it comes to DVD.
