If you haven't read The Hunger Games series, I recommend it (and not just so you'll understand this story laugh ). They're good books, among the best of the YA dystopiate novels, in my humble librarian's opinion (yes, I read lots of YA books; I'm a high school librarian, after all). I thought the movie was pretty good, but the book was better (and the movie did change a few things). There have been reams written about the books (and not just fanfic), frequently "unofficial" and some of it better than others.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
