So these are the books I've been reading lately. I just started Catching Fire, the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy, tonight and am excited to get back to it. I really liked Hunger Games and read it not knowing very much about it. That is sometimes the most rewarding thing, to read a book that you know nothing about, but you end up enjoying immensely.

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane was another one of those, though I'll tone down "enjoyed immensely" to "found very interesting." And Empire left me with a lot of food for thought, especially as concerns politics and political parties. I really enjoyed that book also. I don't read nearly as much as I used to, but I am glad that I still have a chance every now and then.
