As a reader, I always think the book is better than the movie. This weekend I saw the much awaited thriller Hunger Games!! It was exciting and rivoting although sometimes the camera work could have used some help. The shots were too close to see what was happening.

Depending on what I am reading, I find that I use different strategies to help me understand. It doesn't really matter if it has a fancy, professional academic name. Or even if I am calling the strategy that right thing; the most important thing is that I use it again and again and that it works. I always have a hard time remembering characters in a story. Before I know what a character map was, I was drawing that out with every novel that I read. It helped me to keep track of who was who and what their personality was like. Tell me about a reading strategy that you use and explain how it works.
