Man, I need to get out and read... I used to read all the time (}almost literally) but now I'm terrified of being unintentionally influenced by other authors work while I'm producing my own stuff...

What about Divergent didn't you like? I've heard all good things.

Maze Runner was amazing! I couldn't put those books down! I found Divergent to be very similar to the Hunger Games but I thought it still an enjoyable enough read.
