Book plea!
Not for me for...DJ, believe it or not.
Seriously. We came home from seeing The Hunger Games and he decided he wanted to read it. And he did...in a week. Then he asked me to help him get a Fire because he hated carrying books around. I went half with him and boom. He's devouring books like a termite in a wood pile.
Yeah, you read that right. DJ. The gamer.
So! My problem is that I'm running out of things to recommend for him. Right now he's eating up dystopian/post-apocalyptic stuff.
To date, he has read:
Collins' The Hunger Games
Roth's Divergent/Insurgent
Aguirre's Enclave
Lu's Legend
And I think he's starting either Wells' Partials or Dashner's Maze Runner tonight (he's started reading the free samples first - if the first chapter doesn't pull him, he won't continue...and the first victim of the no-pull was Price's Starters.)
Okay, flist. What have you got? Older, newer, hit me up.

Sadly, the one book I can think of off-hand to recommend is not available in e-book format, and it's out of print so you have to get it used. And right now, it looks like it's going for some bigger bucks than I ever paid for it (that book would be Emergence by David R. Palmer).
