I'm amused because I read this on my phone while sitting in the movie theater waiting for The Hunger Games to start. Figured I'd reply while I wait.
I agree Battle Royale is better literature but Hunger Games was a fun.
I have to pause here because some teen girl is getting embarassed as hell after her mom convinced the rest of those waiting here to sing Happy Birthday.
Ok... I look at Katniss as being the anti-Bella. She has no real interest in romance and just concerned with survival. Obviously its a product of her life to that point but I agree it was nice to see a strong young female character taking such a proactive role.
As for works I read I've never been bothered by reading books with female protagonists. Young Wizards come to mine and Muriel of Redwall.

As for writing I'm fine writing either.
