I just wow, after seeing in person how Rome was able to keep such a large population of slaves complacent for so many years, it makes you realize just how much the quote, often paraphrased as "Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt" applies so well to the hunger games, as you see the games grow and expand over the years to evolve with people's desires for theatrics and betting, & even continues today

see now, went it took me forever to pick this book back up again once I knew, I just knew once he was in the Games I would start losing it and I would reobsessed with the hunger games universe. And I have proven myself correct.

I know I’m not even at like the peak conflict of the book, but I just know already in my heart it’s gonna hurt so bad

oh i can just tell that this book is gonna ruin me

kinda hate it already

officially joining the bandwagon, let's see how this goes

I hate when I don’t follow my own advice and I watch a show or movie before reading the book because then when I’m reading the book after watching the content, I realize that the book covers all the plot holes that the content has. silly me

very depressing and triggering, idk if i can finish

the morning commute is only survivable because of audiobooks

ok the fig tree analogy wasn't as bad as I thought, slowish beginning but im intrigued now, a real culture study, giving perspective into whether i would've liked being a english major (not enough unfortunately)

Reading and listening are too very different things

I love audiobooks while driving

very different from the book. i still wrestling with which story i like more

time to compare everything with the show!

i thought i wouldn’t get past the first act and next thing you know im reading till 4am

standard format as sari desi so far

only 9 stories left🫠

for some reason i’m starting to not enjoy the structure as much, it feels almost too all over the place idk why. i still love all john’s insights though

i love this. but i've also had these thoughts/experiences when i was an 8th grader

“the craziness is receding but no clarity is taking its place”
“i look for resolution and find none”

“let them go. keep them dead. … knowing this doesn’t make it easier”

the collapse of the dead star had always been there. just simply invisible

marriage is memory. i am frozen in his memory and for the first time after his passing i have aged. wow
it is the blight man is born for

i think this is the book on grief that i’ve been looking for. i think i already need to recommend it to people

oh this eats
