The Hunger Games

Anybody read the books? I heard they are great but I don't wanna get them shipped from the States if they're not really worth it.

If you had read as much literature as I have, you would know that it will be long before Kindle replaces real handheld books. The warmth that these present cannot be compared with an electronic device.

Yeah,yeah..that's what I thought until I actually got a Kindle. I don't really miss books, also don't have to worry about running out of storage either.
Any book I want at the push of a button.

I have an E-Reader too. It lays inside one of my room's drawers, were I also keep stuff that I haven't used and won't use in years (a diskette might be there, for example).

And yet you skip the reward and satisfaction of finishing a book or turning its smooth and new pages.

Clearly you believe you're an internet badass.
On topic: I've recommended these books to my friends because I've thoroughly enjoyed them.
If you're into the Orwellian nightmare type of story I think you will also like the books.

That explains the poetry I have posted here and me asking about literature in the forums- whilst I also hold a strong criticism against society and the American ways in the Debate Fort. That makes me feel like I should be in jail, mate. The word 'clearly' is based upon your own perspective, and thus shouldn't be used as a term which implies the obvious.

OT: I never read Animal Farm, but Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of my favorite books ever. If that's so, I will buy The Hunger Games.

I would say that what I stated is pretty obvious.

I don't think I've read more books than everyone, but if you answer me that I should learn to use a Kindle in a condescending way, I am bound to respond in the same way. My Macbook is not better than everyone's PC. There's obviously a PC that is much better than a Mac, because the Mac line is so narrow and doesn't offer many options. This idea originated in a debate were I simply asked why did people hate on Mac users that much, because I failed to see Mac users hate on PC users in an equal measure. Your statements are filled with generalizations, and thus are probably flawed.

Is it better than Nineteen-Eighty-Four? Cause that Big Brother stuff had me read the whole book in 2 days.

Well it's kind of hard to gauge what is better.
I've always been intrigued by Conspiracy theories and 1984 was always a popular reference amongst theorists.
"The way things are going are reminiscent to Orwell's 1984" That type of deal..so yeah I personally liked that novel better,
but Animal Farm reflects upon a different time period and subject,
though theoretically you could actually find some similarities in the subjects, such as political views.
Both books are must reads imo.

Yeah, I read them and they were great. I really enjoyed reading them

I'm waiting for the movie.
