I'm a rereader by nature but I don't usually turn around and reread a book this quickly. Sunrise on the Reaping might be the best book in the series - it's a toss-up for me between that and The Hunger Games, the first book. (I won't spoil anything but since Haymitch is a very different person than Katniss, you get a very different perspective on things.)

re: Misery, I think it was very well written (never seen the movie) but it is one of the most misogynist things I've ever read and I would probably warn someone of that before just handing it to them.
