I really want to watch the TV s...I know, right?!?! I really want to watch the TV series, but I always try to read the books before I see the movies or TV shows if I can (I read Lord of the Rings before I let myself see the movies even though *heresy* I enjoyed the movies more than the book - and I expect it might be similar with this series as well). Luckily we do not have HBO, so I have to wait for DVDs to see the series, which gave me ample time to read the books first...<br /><br />Actually I am going to break my read before I watch rule with The Hunger Games movie that is coming out - though mostly because when I read the plot synopsis on the inside cover of the book it sounded very much like a rip-off of Battle Royale by Koushun Takami (really good, BTW), and I wasn't keen on buying and reading anything that sounded so eerily similar to the Japanese story. However, I have also heard that the books are really good, so I do sort of want to read them. So I figure I will give the movie a shot, and base my book-reading decisions from there.T.

I...I have a real dilemma with this book series. I've had the books for ages, but then the TV series started and after watching the trailer I really want to watch it - but I really want to read the books, but the TV series looks really good, and so on. I keep going back and forth on this and end up neither reading or watching.ReadyThreadSewhttp://readythreadsew.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
