Read Mockingjay a few days ago, thought it was really good. For anyone who has actually *finished* the Hunger Games trilogy, there is a really thoughtful and insightful set of discussions of both Mockingjay and the series as a whole, here: http://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/unlocking-mockingjay-the-complete-set-of-posts-and-a-round-up-of-the-first-30-discussion-points/ It helped me to see a lot of the allegorical/symbolical things going on beneath the action-packed surface (Lots of spoilers in the discussions, so be forewarned.)

What else...

It seems like most of what I have read recently or want to read soon has already been mentioned frequently in various Sounis posts, so I'll just mention a couple recent reads: The Blue Castle, by L. M. Montgomery (a sweet little story about a young woman finding love and overcoming her role as the family drudge) and The Golf Omnibus, by P. G. Wodehouse (comic short stories about golf; I loved it and I'm not even a fan of golf).
