It's definitely better. Then again watching paint dry is better than Twilight. Additionally while both of them are YA you're talking about a sparkling vampire vs. a dysotopian society, so you take your pick as to which of them you would rather read. 
In the grand scheme of things Hunger Games is just okay but from what I heard it is a rip-off of a book called Battle Royale which is supposedly much better, but one that I have never read myself.
There is nothing to hate about THG. The idea behind the book was not a bad one. What people are failing to realise however is that the book was written with the teens in mind not adults so perhaps it was not catering for their tastes. It certainly doesn't end in your happily-ever-after. In fact there is quite a lot of pain and loss for the protagonist. It was too much on the teenage side for me but definitely not a bad read if you are in your teens.
P.S. The movie however was far too idiotic for me. Don't even bother with it.

Was Battle Royale any good? I read the synopsis for it and it seemed very interesting.
Just finished reading 'Why We Believe In Gods'.
Can anyone tell me how you can maintain concentration while reading books? My mind always wanders towards thoughts about the real world when I try to read books. It renders the readings useless because I can't remember anything! And what's the point of reading if you can't remember what you read, eh?
Anyway, on towards Kant.

If your mind starts to wander, go find something else to do and come back to the book later. Unless the wandering is caused by some idea proposed in the text. In that case, stop reading, digest the thought over a few short minutes, and then go back to reading having considered a new line of thinking.

The brain tends to get good at what it does repeatedly. I've had reading sprees where I can read for hours and really focus on the book. Then two months later, when I haven't read much in the meantime, the same thing doesn't seem possible.
But philosophy is tougher than most. I find it hard to read on the train, it's something I have to take enough time to read from start to finish in one go (at least per chapter), otherwise I lose the plot too much.

This one is for all you movie lovers. Started reading a book by the eminent Paul Verhoeven who directed the fabulous Robocop. The book is no way as fun as that, it's a retelling of Jesus Christ's life (he assumed that it was a real guy) according to what he's researched of historical sources and such. Completely void of car races and gun battles. 
The book was such a hit, in fact, that even though it came out in 2010 it was already out of print and I had to find a second hand seller. That should have tipped me off lol.

A Clash of Kings (Book 1) by George R.R. Martin, god this one was boring, especially first 150 pages.. yeah the writer is very creative and the world that he created is amazing but his telling style is boring.. if Tyrion Lannister hadn't existed, you couldn't finish it.. he is still very smart and funny! .. and Arya of course, i love her, she is def. the daughter of Ed Stark
