I am completely unmotivated to read Hunger Games.
I am somewhere in the middle of the 2nd book but I just cannot push myself to read sometimes, I'm not excited about it. What was everyone so excited about? Nothing has been going on for like 100 pages now.

Just out of curiosity, what Shakespeare is being taught in school besides Romeo & Juliet?

I live in Scotland so it might be different in other countries. For Higher English, they can teach Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth I am sure. For Higher Drama they do Twelfth Night sometimes. For Advanced Higher English they do Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, The Tempest and A Winter's Tale - as well as the sonnets!

I've been meaning to buy that. Bourdain is my kind of pompous New Yorker. I love his show, its always a great treat.

In America it's not that different, except the books aren't decided by education levels but by the teachers. Everybody learns Romeo and Juliet and his sonnets during Freshman/Sophomore year, and the upperclassmen read the ones that you mentioned with the addition of Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and King Lear. Hamlet was definitely the highlight of my Senior year's reading assignments.

We did Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, MacBeth and The Taming of the Shrew.

It's pretty similar to what I read while I was in high school in Canada and the US.
