EW's 'Shelf Life' Interviews Suzanne about her Favorite Books
Not much mentioned about THG except for this Katniss tidbit:
Entertainment Weekly: Which classic have you never read-but pretended you did?
Suzanne Collins: "I sort of half read Thomas Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge. It was assigned in 10th grade, and I just couldn’t get into it. About seven years later I rediscovered Hardy, and consumed four of his novels in a row. Katniss Everdeen owes her last name to Bathsheba Everdene, the lead character in Far From the Madding Crowd. The two are very different, but both struggle with knowing their hearts."
