Someone is going to make fun of me for this, but one other thing that has drawn my interest is something I heard last year. Guess who else likes the Hunger Games Trilogy and had read all the books at least once; I bring you Mitt Romney of the Michigan Mormons. If someone as hardworking and brainy as Mitt Romney thinks there is some merit to these stories, well I want to check that out for myself!

In my own experience that is inadvisable.

If I read a book and then see the movie it ruins the movie experience because I can not help critiquing the movie adaptation of the book. I pick out the changes the screen writer made in the plot or changes made to the development of the character.

If I read the book after seeing the movie I pick these things up but I still enjoy the book.
