What would you choose?

"You can't buy Happiness.  But you can buys books and that's kinda the same thing."

If I could make a living reading books, I'd be a millionaire   I'm a sucker for a good story.  Same with Jeff.  Will was definitely born with the gene too.  I'm hoping that as Hunter continues through his busy life, he finds time to escape in a book from time to time.  

I'll read anything.  Autobiographies, who done it's, political satire, romance and paranormal.  If it doesn't scare the daylights out of me, I'm good.  But I have to admit that my favorite books are the ones that make me think.  I love a good moral/ethical conundrum.  If you've read the Hunger Games (or cheated and watched the movie) you know what I'm talking about.  My love of the Game was less about the people and more about the internal, ethical debate of whether or not I could kill someone to save myself and help my family.  I read it last year and I still haven't figured out the answer to that one.

So when I ran across a review for the Veronica Roth trilogy, Divergent, I was sucked in within the first few sentences.  Five factions, five traits to choose from.  Are you honest?  Courageous?  Selfless? Smart?  Peaceful?  And what if you could only choose one?  Would you be courageous if you couldn't help others too?  Would you be honest....at the expense of everyone else?  And would you give up your family forever to find yourself?  That's not the review...those are all of the questions that I asked myself after the first few chapters.  

Book two (Insurgent) made me hold my breath for the two days it took me to get through the 500 pages.  Now, I have to hold my breath until October when the last book is released.  I guess that gives me a little time to think about it.  But to be honest, I know I won't have an answer by then.  I'm not sure that I'll ever have an answer.  What I do know is that the more you read, the more you know....or the more you think.  And a few minutes thinking about something else is a wonderful thing.
