I just finished reading one of the most incredible stories I've ever read:



From Laura Hillenbrand, the bestselling author of Seabiscuit, comes Unbroken, the inspiring true story of a man who lived through a series of catastrophes almost too incredible to be believed. In evocative, immediate descriptions, Hillenbrand unfurls the story of Louie Zamperini--a juvenile delinquent-turned-Olympic runner-turned-Army hero. During a routine search mission over the Pacific, Louie’s plane crashed into the ocean, and what happened to him over the next three years of his life is a story that will keep you glued to the pages, eagerly awaiting the next turn in the story and fearing it at the same time.


I lent my wife the book-on-CD, and she listened to all 11 hours of it in two days! It's really an incredible book.

I also just finished the three books of "The Hunger Games" series.



In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives. Collins's characters are completely realistic and sympathetic as they form alliances and friendships in the face of overwhelming odds; the plot is tense, dramatic, and engrossing.

Definitely the most violent young-adult novel I've ever read; it makes "Lord of the Flies" look like "The Little Prince". But the three-book series tells a very interesting story.

Thanks, Cine. I'm going to download "Unbroken" tonight. I was looking for a new audiobook. I too love the Hunger Games series. The last book was a bit depressing but I loved how she wrapped it all up in the end.

I have read the first of the Hunger Games and actually liked it, so did my kids. I just finished a book recommended by K.Graham by Ariana Huffington called "Pigs at the Trough." A good nonfiction book about greed and corruption at the corporate and government level.

I just finished reading "Pillars of the Earth" I thought it was great!
