Literature... of a sort

[awedprowess]

Seiichi.

I read "The Hunger Games".

[seriousaura]

All three or just the first one?

[awedprowess]

At present, just the first.

I dislike the way there is no respite between volumes. I feel instantly compelled to begin the second, causing me substantial lack of sleep.

[seriousaura]

They are rather quick reads though. I finished all three within a day.

[awedprowess]

I am supposed to be in meetings during the day, Tezuka. Pondering the downfalls of a fictional world while this one still stands does have to wait until after hours.

[seriousaura]

Not all day, Atobe. You have breaks in between.

It also would be a good plan if you broke them up over the days instead of having them all at once. You look tense.

[awedprowess]

Perilously few.

That is because I have been forced to stop on a cliff hanger. It is not a comfortable state of affairs. It would be much improved if the girl had died.

[seriousaura]

You should adjust.

There are two more. You might get your wish.

[awedprowess]

If the girl is going to perish, they should do the act in the first one and save everyone the pain.

[seriousaura]

There are underlying currents that need to be discussed.

[awedprowess]

There always are. Yet, I do not put them into three novels.

[seriousaura]

You haven't read the other two, so you can't make that claim.

[prettynotweak]

Fitting no?

[awedprowess]

A game more suited to your betrothed, I believe.

I will admit your taste in literature has improved fractionally.

[prettynotweak]

I could see us in the arena all too easily.

You will have to thank my sister. She throws her favorite books in my lap until I read them.

[awedprowess]

Does this mean you see us as the central love affair? How deeply inappropriate.

She is a petulant child with impressively blood thirsty taste.

[prettynotweak]

No, I think we would be from different districts.

She will grow out of the petulance.

[awedprowess]

Ahn? Do you model yourself on the squirt Ren? Hiding in the bushes and living off the plants you know to be edible?

One can only hope. The combination is unfortunate.

[prettynotweak]

A little, but I would last until the end.

She will. I have faith.

[awedprowess]

You would freeze on the first night and run into the arms of your killer.

One must, since you are doomed to be related for all time.

[notseenorheard]

It good Atobe-sama? I read too!!!

[awedprowess]

I do not recommend them, Kabaji. They are not to your taste.

[notseenorheard]

They sad?

[awedprowess]

The lead character once tried to drown a cat. While she failed and the cat is quite well, I am sure you would not want to spend time with her, even in fiction.
