If you like “The Hunger Games,” you may very well enjoy this series-in-progress.

A Bible life for me

“The Year of Living Biblically: One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible,” displays author A. J. Jacobs’s humorous journey as an agnostic, secular Jew living in Manhattan and sees if it is truly achievable for one to live his life “by the book.”

In anticipation of “The Hunger Games” movie set to release in March 2012, I decided to read the original novel.

Haruki Murakami has made a living by writing surreal, fantastic stories. His latest novel, “1Q84,” may seem like a monumental read, com­ing in just over 925 pages, but if you approach it in it’s original form, three seperate novels, it’s much eas­ier read.

Tattoo

“The Girl with the Dragon Tat­too” has dominated best-seller lists for quite some time now, and with the American film adaptation being released this winter, hype has only continued to build for this novel.

Garth Stein’s novel, “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” has been com­pared to John Groban’s bestseller, “Marley & Me,” but the two novels couldn’t be more different.

A Widow’s Story

Legend Joyce Carol Oates is the author of more than 100 books, including “The Falls,” “I’ll Take You There,” “Blonde,” “Black Water” and “Wonderland”.
