All right, listen up again! We've picked the book to read for the month, you ready?

The book that won the poll was The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

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.

If you want to participate in our meetup/discussion, go read it. :D

The Hunger Games Book Discussion will be held on December 12th. You have a month, essentially, so get cracking if you're a slow reader. The discussion will be held in the Arts Lounge, in a shiny new thread. I'll post a few questions for discussion, and then from there we can debate and go off on our favorite or least favorite bits about the book.

It'll be fun. If you're into books, that is. Hopefully you are, so hopefully you'll participate in this cultural activity, as, of course, it's always "the more, the merrier" with book clubs and discussions.
