I'm registered with The Capitol.

After being told by a few friends how much I would love reading The Hunger Games, and finally having the time to read it (I'm currently powering through three novel-series), I asked friends for a copy. I got a lot of responses as everyone is currently on this bandwagon, and finally one friend through a copy down in front of me. I went home, and started reading.
Here's the thing, I am a terrible reader. When I was in middle school I was at a gifted school that forced me to read books four years ahead of my grade for the sole purpose of remembering trivial points to pass a quiz on the book to prove I had read it. I didn't read Jurassic Park (the only entertaining one on the list) to appreciate its message, I read it to remember that the T-Rex did this one thing at some point. So this reading program totally backfired and killed my enthusiasm for reading. Ten years later I started reading Harry Potter, and my interest in reading picked up greatly, and A Song of Fire and Ice has been keeping me invested. But it still took me far too long to read Order of the Phoenix. I sat down with The Hunger Games, and I could not stop reading. I had to know what was gonna happen next. The way it's written, I freaking love it. Suzanne Collins has this way of teasing and dropping hints of what is to come, and it kept me so invested in the story that I could not set it down without being frustrated at myself. I forced myself to stop reading after Part I for the sake of sleep. But when I woke up in the morning I rolled over, picked up the book, and was right back at it. I made myself breakfast and went about my day with the book in my hand the whole time. I had to look away a few time obviously, but I wouldn't allow myself to put it down. I stopped after Part III to stretch my legs, and that was it, I went right back to it and neglected my responsibilities for the day to see how it all ended. I finished that book in one sitting. That is a huge freaking deal to me.
So now I'm forcing myself to not read the next two, purely because, as I said, I'm reading two other novel-series and I need to get them done. My motivation for finishing the next two books is the enjoyment I will get from these two awesome series. But my motivation to get them read quickly will be to get back to the games and see what happens when Katniss comes home. I mean, Collins ended it on a cliffhanger! Who does that?! I gotta know what happens next! (Don't you dare spoil it for me.)
Anyway, point is I'm a fan.
