The Hunger Games Companion : The Unauthorized Guide to the Series, by Lois H. Gresh

I read a couple of chapters but it just wasn't working for me. Definitely written for teens who haven't read much older fiction. Well-written but I didn't finish it.

Shakespeare : The Seven Major Tragedies, by Harold Bloom (on CD)

However, he does know his Shakespeare. I just wish he didn't find so many things "extraordinary."
