After Belinda Carlisle's book I listened to Geddy Lee's book My Effin Life and that was great. Than I started The Hunger Games and its real good.

I finished the Hunger Games trilogy on audiobook very quickly because they are relatively short and incredibly entertaining. Highly recommend

You know there's two more books in the "trilogy", right? Technically three, but the last one was written by someone else after Adams died.

I thought they were connected but not part of the original trilogy. I didn't really care for the last one so regardless my journey ended with that one

Nope, they are a continuation. It started as a radio series and the first three books essentially cover what was done in the radio series. I say essentially, because he changed the story a bunch every time he made it(which was a few times before the books).

Song of Susannah is heading back to Gunslinger grade territory and that's bad. It's short but just not very good so far.

Finished Dune. Wish I would of read this in high school when I was just about to. Outstanding storytelling. Have George Lucas or George RR Martin ever named this as inspiration for Star Wars or Game of Thrones?

Dune Messiah was very short compared to the first book. I liked it a lot though not as much as the first book. Now starting Children of Dune

Pretty sure Lucas has mentioned inspiration, among other inspirations.

It took 9 months but I finally finished Needful Things. I'm going to put this with other King works IT and The Stand in that it's a great book with an absolutely atrocious ending. I would like to eventually rank the Stephen King books I've read.
