Five Books To Read After ‘The Hunger Games’

If you’re like me, you might be suffering from some serious Hunger Games withdrawal. How can we be expected to wait 18 whole months for the Catching Fire movie to come out? That’s longer than a walrus’ gestation period! WALRUSES WILL BE CONCEIVED AND BORN BEFORE WE SEE THE SECOND HUNGER GAMES MOVIE. Just to give you a frame of reference. Lucky for you, I’m sort of an expert on dystopian young-adult fiction (don’t judge me), so I’ve taken the liberty of compiling a list of books that will help distract you from the fact that The Hunger Games saga has ended and it’s going to be at least one walrus pregnancy before we get another fix.

‘FRINGE’ Photo Recap: “Brave New World – Part 2″

Physically, I may be sitting in a hotel room typing this on my laptop while listening to the Prince of Egypt soundtrack, but mentally and spiritually I’m still dancing in an imaginary conga line with the rest of the Fringe fandom because THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER. (I know I say that a lot, but I think you know that this time I’m not exaggerating.) The season finale of Fringe was wondrous, magnificent, and all the other synonyms that are listed under “awesome” in the thesaurus. (I’m too lazy to type them all here.) It reminded me of this book I once read, where this guy had to save the world by dying and coming back to life, and this other guy built a huge boat for him and a bunch of animals to live on, and this other guy had a magical technicolor pea dream coat. That’s right, ya’ll. I’m talking about the Bible. This season was like one big long walk through the Old Testament, and the final episode marked the transition to the New Testament with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, AKA Olivia Dunham.

If you had asked me back in season one what the perfect finale episode would be, I probably would have described exactly what happened in “Brave New World, Part 2”: the whole team together, smiling and eating Red Vines, and Peter and Olivia HAVING A BABY TOGETHER. Of course, now that I’ve seen all the magical things Fringe has to offer, I would have to amend that vision to include Lincoln Lee (shirtless of course), Henry the cab driver, a musical number, Broyles on LSD, and AltLincoln and Altlivia riding a horse together in the background. (What can I say? I dream big.) But this finale was damn near perfect. And it certainly had more closure that I’m used to in my Fringe finales. Let’s get this party started!
