• Lord of the Flies by Sir William Golding

  Hated it in high school. Loved it in university. Movie was decent. Simpson’s adaptation was awesome.

• Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

  I know that the ending makes the most sense for the trilogy. I know that! Geez. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.

• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

  Brilliant, really. A thrilling and desperate melange of The Lord of the Flies, Gladiator, and Survivor. Couldn’t put it down.

• Little Bee by Chris Cleave

  Eye-opening. Fictional account based on true events. Impressive that a man can write two fully-developed, extremely different women so successfully.

• Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Coupland

  A rebirth of thought, action, regret, love and questioning in a world of technology and casual acceptance. Strange, but brilliant.
