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.

Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan, Behemoth, and Goliath (series is done).
Melina Marchetta's Finnikin of the Rock and sequel Froi of the Exiles (the third and last in series is due out spring of next year).
Jonathan Maberry's Rot & Ruin and sequel Dust & Decay (the third and last in series is due out this fall).
Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker and a sequel where it's set in the same world just came out this month but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
So those I would put into the dystopian category for sure, I probably have read others that would fall into that category so just let me know if you're looking for more and I can revisit again what I've read to see. :D
