Books & Literature From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor The universe has been conspiring against me and I've not yet seen The Hunger Games movie, though I'm a big fan of the books. Hopefully I'll make it to the theater sooner than later, and in the meantime, maybe I'll console myself with a quick re-read of the book. Readers Weigh In: 'The Hunger Games' Movie vs. Book See what some of our readers have to say about their take on the movie, and how it compares to the book, and if you're so inclined, please add your voice to the mix!

We've got plenty of new reviews for you, too! For starters, there's Iago, which re-imagines the classic Othello and continues the story with surprising success.
