After reading the entire THG series many times over and having seen the movie three times in the theatre, you kind of run out of HG related things to do. Short of rereading the books AGAIN, all I have left to do is wait for Catching Fire to come out in OVER a YEAR. Soo I decided to compile a list of withdrawal symptoms so that other HG fans will know they are not alone and/or going crazy and also so that prospective fans will know the risks
