My brother and I—both middle-aged people who have read widely and have fancy educations—love The Hinger Games.

My brother talked to me about a hard-to-define quality that some books and movies have that he calls “heart.” The Hunger Games had a lot of heart. There are many other good things you could say about it, but that’s it’s finest quality IMHO.

The Pantheon in Rome is an example of this actually happening. Since this great pagan temple was converted to a church, it was maintained. If I understand correctly, it was originally on the top a hill. Now you feel sort of like you’re walking down into a hole when you go to see it.
