Huh. Never thought of that, but that would make sense.
I picked up on the
panem = bread right off the bat, though I didn't relate it to
panem et circensis until the author made that connection in the third book; I just related it to bread and hunger (games).
Speaking of the third book, am I the only one who was really wasn't satisfied with the ending of the third book?
