Well, Catching Fire, sequel to Hunger Games just came out today. Of course it has to come out when I’m in the middle of nowhere (yes, I checked the town’s one bookstore…) and in one of my busiest weeks of the year. Still, I will hopefully get a copy tomorrow and start reading as soon [...]

Now, I’m against lead poisoning and everything, [...]
