He's an Oggsford Man.

I finished this book this morning and I gotta say, I didn't remember it being so good.

I read it once before in high school, but only because it was mandatory for the class.

Then my buddy Trevor told me he'd just finished reading it and sparked my interest.

Confirmation by Tim right after that I should read it again made my decision easy.

If you had to read it for school in the past, Isuggest that that you pick it up again.

It's a very different book the second time for multiple reasons I think.

First, you aren't being forced to read it and there isn't a test on it. Second, you've lived a little more life and have gone through more experiences (assuming you read the book in high school and have graduated by now). Lastly, you can appreciate some of the theme's of money, love and friendship, now being a little more grown up and mature.

Go read The Great Gatsby if you haven't in awhile or if you never have.

Don't want to buy it? Perfectly understandable. Go to your local library.

They're almost guaranteed to have it; that's where I picked up my copy.

The library actually has a section dedicated to the classics. I may find myself reading through those, who knows?

The Hunger Games.

The movie is coming out, everyone is reading it and then telling me to read it, so I do--I'm always down for a good book, but to be honest, I'm not impressed. Now before you finish saying "Whaaaaaaat?" and write me off, allow me to explain.

It was entertaining and definitely kept me interested. 

The idea was good and the story was set up well.

I'm a guy though and love stories just don't do it for me--you're correct in assuming I didn't read twilight.

I get that there are violent and war-like aspects for the gentlemen, but that only goes so far.

Other than that, it really doesn't offer much for me. 

I'm not too interested in the rest of the series, and I most likely won't read it.

If you loved it and are obsessed, good for you, I support that 100%!

Maybe it was all the hype and my expectations were too high, I don't know.

I do want to see the movie, however, it won't be because I'm a super fan.

I'm just curious as to how they'll do it. 

I'm going classic with my next book, I'll post it when I'm done.
