Re: The Hunger Games
I have work at the weekends, uni all week, and no train travel time 
It's a lot harder for me
I am a fast reader in general though, usually crack out about 5/6 chapters an hour of a night

Re: The Hunger Games
The books are gathering dust on my shelf, I really should read them before the film!
I tend to use my train time doing sudoku rather than reading though. I have not read a single page in my current book for about a month.

Re: The Hunger Games
I've been waiting for this film for like 18 months now so I can't believe that there are now less than 2 weeks to go!
I just wish that I didn't have "essential" training for work next week (and I suppose my job is slightly more important) otherwise I'd have been down at the O2 queuing for a wristband to get into the premiere.

The bit at the end that gets me everytime I read it is when [spoiler]Katniss says it was all for the games how she felt. Poor poor Peeta.[/spoiler]

Re: The Hunger Games
[spoiler]I didnt get that vibe, I think she does feel for him, but was confused when they were heading home, that for the whole time haymitch had told her to play up the romance, thinking that he'd done the same with Peeta, when she found out he hadn't, I can see why she'd have conflicting emotions[/spoiler]
