Per Shalizi’s fantastic post, I’m reading Red Plenty. It’s so far pretty good—if I had to compare it, I’d compare it to Dos Passos’s USA, Kim Stanley Robinson’s Red Mars books, and Carter Schulz’s Radiance (which incidentally I recommend to LWers with literary bents).
Similarly to this comment from the April thread, which unfortunately got no replies, I am also interested in opinions of The Hunger Games so that I can decide whether or not it’s worth reading. What are the books like?
Edit: seems I should have also checked the May thread. Duh.
