Not to start things out political, but the book that stood out forme the most in high school, and what I seem to be relating back
to now in 2017 is Suzanne Collins' trilogy of the Hunger Games.
If you want to start getting into books and don't know where to
start, I would definitely recommend this series. It is such an easy
read, with exciting plots and almost inconspicuous government
themes that foreshadows todays culture. This series took
"nose in the book" to a new level for me, as I was finished with
the trilogy in one weekend. Although I was a little shaky on the
entirety of Mockingjay, I am curious to hear your thoughts on
Collins' young adult novels and how you think it translates into todays society.
I'm only familiar with the movies, but I can definitely relate to having books be the reason I started getting interested in politics in high school. For me, it was 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. A couple of these were required reading, but it was one of the first times I had gotten lost in a fiction book that made me think more about the outside world and what was happening in it.
