Is anyone a reader here?

[Beware of Cuccos]

I LOVE to read. I am currently reading "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth, the second in (what's supposed to be) a trilogy. The first was called "Divergent". They're both really good. They're kind of like The Hunger Game in the sense that they're both about post-apocalyptic teenagers. I thought I would be too old to enjoy them (i'm 26) but I love both series. The Hunger Games movie was done pretty well, with only a few things missing- but the acting was great.

Another trilogy I loved was The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. If you haven't read it, or started and put it down, listen to me- once you get past the first half of the first book, the rest of the series is non-stop awesome. Lisbeth Salander is one of my all time favorite fictional female leads. I watched all of the Swedish versions of the movies, then saw the American one when it was made. They are all great and I recommend watching them all after reading the books. It's actually easy to keep up with the Swedish version via subtitles AND watch the films without missing anything. Both girls in both version who played Lisbeth did an incredible job.

Those are some I had read in recent years. Here's some of my all-time favorites.

The Catcher in the Rye- J.D. Salinger
Invisible Monsters- Chuck Palahniuk
Haunted- Chuck Palahniuk
Under The Dome- Stephen King

Those are ones I keep going back to. I've read everything by Palahniuk and love them all. And I love pretty much anything by King as well. If you've never read Palahniuk before, I suggest you start with Fight Club (watch the movie if you haven't) so you can get used to his writing style. It's incredible, and the movie was PERFECT from the book, even with the different ending. (I read somewhere that Palahnuik actually preferred the ending in the movie as opposed to his own in the book)
