Got my The Hunger Games books today! Haven‘t read them before, so I‘m excited! Didn‘t get the newest book though.

I read this on the plane en route to and from Germany and I couldn‘t put it down. I‘ve read quite a bit of non-fiction and fiction which deals with possible collapse scenarios for civil society in the United States and I think this book written in the 90s envisions the most realistic one -a slow deterioration of municipal and legal institutions, rotting physical infrastructure, rampant unemployment, climate change issues and roving gangs.

Schwifty I‘ve read some reviews that indicate displeasure with the drudgery of all the terrible events which befall the main character and her small band of refugees, but really, I think it‘s a necessary feature of the story and gets across the kind of unrelenting struggle life may become when it all falls apart. 4h

The Wall | Marlen Haushofer

A woman visiting the Alps one day discovers an invisible wall. No other people seem to be trapped on her side, so we move forward into a story of her efforts to survive. This definitely shares some DNA with I Who Have Never Known Men and On the Constellation of Volume. I found it riveting.
