HOW??? When I was lnnietisg to the audiobooks, I would sit in my car because I wanted to KEEP LISTENING FOREVER. I spent a lot of time playing solitaire on my computer while lnnietisg, too. And oh man, twice my iPod did this weird thing where the first files in my "Book" playlist would just NOT BE THERE after synching, so I had to wait ALL DAY until I could get home from work to listen to the next part and basically both times I turned green and hulked out in my rage, then panicked and tried to re-download the book to my computer at work, then hulked out again because our network security was TOO SECURE and wouldn't let me. The second time it happened, I thought long and hard about suddenly "being sick" so I could go home early. These books were CRACK to me. tl;dr version: Man, props to you for being able to read this a chapter at a time.

I watch Big Love, so I’m pretty much an expert on polygamy, and you guys, I think we can make this marriage work. As long as Catching Fire doesn’t disrobe as much as Bill Paxton does in Big Love. (Seriously, bill paxton, I don’t need to see you naked that much.)

Leslie, I keep waiting for Prim to do something. Anything. Anything at all.

LOOOOOOVED it. I stayed up way too late drinking wine and reading, which may explain why I got kind of confused during all the action at the end.

My favorite parts: more Cinna, more Haymitch, even sassier and more defiant Katniss, rebels!

Disappointments: Prim’s still in the background–I want her to become a much larger character!

I love Randy Quaid as Haymitch. I could also see Bill Murray. I’d also like to put in a vote for Taylor Lautner as Gale–especially if we can get some shirtless hunting scenes YUM.

In addition to Collins being a secret fan of Project Runway-as Sarah uncovered in her Hunger Games review-I would like to suggest that she may also be a fan of the Food Network and/or Top Chef. Food descriptions abound in both books.

Oh Suzanne Collins-your Gregor the Overlander series was amazing, and yet here you come with an indescribably better series that makes me declare you my author laureate.

Can’t wait for the next post that will discuss spoilers, etc.

erin, let me ask you an important question: how do you feel about polygamy? cos i’m pretty sure that jenny and i are already engaged to catching fire too. but hey, if we all get married on the same day, peeta can bake us a bigger cake! and then we can get more prezzies! which will be v. helpful in the upcoming revolution, btw.

OH MY LORD THIS BOOK ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK. LIKE SEVERAL TIMES. in fact, there should be a health warning label on the cover, like cigarettes but instead of a cancer advisory it should say “may cause hysteria and/or fainting spells due to swoon.”

FYI we’ll be doing posts about catching fire all week here on FYA cos WE CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. so stay tuned for highly academic, deeply philosophical waxings on peeta vs gale, the return to the arena and, of course, predictions on the third book.

erin, good call on randy quaid! but dude what about the hot guy with the trident? you need to cast him!!!
