Zaz | 2969 comments You have some good books in your list. The Road can be a little difficult because of the writing (more in the beginning), but the atmosphere is great!

I haven't read The World of Poo, I will be curious to hear what you think of it, I'm not sure it's worth reading it, but it's a Pratchett's book so I don't want to miss a good one.

I like Hunger Games a lot more as a series than movies, I hope you'll enjoy them :)

Maple (maplerie) | 1025 comments I hope you enjoy The Hunger Games! I love the series, though the third book seems a bit rushed. The first book is a bit different than the movie, especially in the story and character support area. Both are really good though.

MJ | 950 comments 1W84 is a book that I wanted to read in 2015, but I've been having trouble finishing his Norwegian Wood.
Treasure Island is one I want to read this year, but haven't fit it into my list yet!
