Catchin Fire by Suzanne Collins

While I enjoyed this book I must say I was disapointed. It was too much a repeat of the first and didn't go to any of the posibilites I had imagined. Maybe the third will be what I was waiting for.

caution: violence and mild sexuality

Night by Elie Wiesel

This book is nonfiction, but the things that happen are so horrible and described so matter-or-factly, it seems to be fictions. This is a book that puts your life into perspective. We are all so lucky.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

A book I have been meaning to read for years and can't believe that I never got to it. This is a book I could read every 5 years, there are so many things to think about. How if someone is above or below the medicore they do not fit in. How difficult it is to be ture to yourself, but the only truely happy people are those who manage to do so.
