Hey! Why don't we all talk about the books we've been reading?

I'll go first. The book I'm reading is Divergent by Veronica Roth (it's a book for teens; young children, be warned). It's about a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in a dystopian world (sort of like the Hunger Games). Society is divided into five factions, each valuing a different virtue such as honesty, selflessness, and bravery. Every year, every sixteen-year-old must select a faction that they will devote the rest of their lives to. The main character must choose between staying with her family and being who she really is. She makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During a highly competitive initiation, she struggles to determine who her friends really are. But she also has a secret that, as she's been warned, could mean death. Later she discovers that it could help her save those she loves…or possibly destroy her.

What I found weird was that the main character's name was Beatrice, and her appearance described on the first few pages nearly matched Lady Redundant Woman's! Isn't that strange? I was like, OMG! :0

Anyway, really great book, totally reccomend it. Sorry if I ruined it for you above.
