I had the same opinion. I originally wasn't going to read the series at all, because it seemed like it was really overrated. They were good, but as you said, not spectacular.

I started that series in first grade, and I've experienced the same thing. It used to be my favorite series, but I can't really read them anymore. They just seem different.
I never read the Percy Jackson books, but I heard that they were good. They sounded kind of overrated, so I never bothered with them.
I've heard good things about the Divergent books, but I haven't read them either. I don't know what it is exactly, but someone described the setting to me, and it didn't appeal to me at all.
So yesterday I started Neuromancer, and I really like it so far. It's considered one of the greatest books of the cyberpunk genre, and I can see why. I haven't made it too far yet, but I really like the writing style. The dialogue is great as well; so far, none of it has felt forced. Badly written or awkward dialogue is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to books.

Guess who doesn't need sleep anymore. This guy. Mosquitos got in my room, and I am freaking out in all sorts of ways. Killed two giant ones, and a few tiny ones, the rest are out of reach. Yay! :D

That sounds... awful. I'm like a mosquito magnet, they're drawn to me and their bites sometimes swell a little after they get me. I don't know if I would call it an allergic reaction, but I am, I guess you could say, more vulnerable too them.
Also, completely unrelated, but does anyone here play Hearthstone? It's a free to play CCG (collectible card game, since you technically don't trade with anyone) on both iPad and PC, for anyone who doesn't know. Although I'm new to the game, I'm quite enjoying my time with it, and was just wondering if anyone else had gotten into it as well.
And lastly, anyone play Watch Dogs yet? I'm considering picking it up since Batman was delayed, but I'd like some opinions first if anyone has played it.

So, I have worked out a deal with the mosquitos. So long as I leave a small portion of food scraps and blood, they will not bite me. I have learned their language, as well as customs. Apparently, today is their day of remembrance for their fallen. They sit in silence periodically throughout the day, only moving to feed.
On a side note, got my comp back. It is like brand new. :)

Mosquitos and bugs of the like think I'm toxic, they don't ever touch me.
