Winning will make you famous. Losing means certain death.

Last night I was watching Teen Jeopardy with my daughter. (I was kicking butt vs. 15 year-olds but that's a different story.) They had a category entitled, "what kids are reading today." Most of the questions/answers concerned vampires and wearwolves. I bring this up because I am 2/3rds of the way through The Hunger Games trilogy, a series of books recommended by my other daughter who missed last night's Jeopardy tussle. Eager to connect with what my daughters are reading I've become engrossed in the trials forced by the Capitol in the nation of Panem.  Alex I'll take "what adults are reading for $800 please ..." And the answer is: "Winning will make you famous. Losing means certain death." I know this one. "What is The Hunger Games?" (Ouch, I just got beat out on the buzzer by the 14 year-old from Bloomington.)
