Logician: What does my favorite novel say about me? Let me hear. 🙂
And never really thought about it, but I can hear Dahl and Rowling being in the same league…what does Dahl have on Rowling besides age?
writersoul: C’mon…don’t tell me you didn’t see the Snape revelation coming. And I don’t think we are related (don’t have any relatives in your school :P) but it would be neat if we were. 🙂
Also, I would cut The Hunger Games a little slack–I don’t know if you’ve ever dabbled in the dystopian genre, but pretty much everything bearing that label deals with the issues of current society: 1984–Communism, Brave New World–eugenics, etc. I think Farenheit 451 actually shares a lot of themes with The Hunger Games. The whole pseudo-intellectual vibe you are getting might be more a function of it being so popular and so prolifically discussed. In my opinion, it’s not a bad series on the whole.
