I didn't know Hunger Games at all, thanks!
-
I didn't really know how to write it, but "There will be only one left" books seemed accurate.
So I'm talking about books that tell stories about a group of people who have to kill the others (directly or not), and to be more understandable I can give you two examples:
Battle Royale by Koushun Kagami
The Long Walk by Richard Bachman/Stephen King
I'm currently reading The Long Walk, and it gives me some chills, I must admit (and I'm not talking about the terrible pain I feel in my feets thanks to it
). So I thought: "Why do I reeeally like books like that?". As one character of The Long Walk says: "It's just sick.". Do you think that readers like me like to read stories about suffering and stuff? And do you enjoy these books? (I must add that I've only read two books of this kind, I'm not a psychopath !
)Of course, because it's the aim of these books, be careful about giving the end only in the Spoilers hide-out!

And do you have other titles? ] -
I've found again Sepulchre by Kate Mosse, and realized that I had totally forgotten it. xD So I'm continuing this great book.
-
I've added loooots of books, because I couldn't add them last summer.
I really enjoyed Middlesex, as many of you on this forum, and bought (too many) books I will read with delight.

So I saw The Shining, and I'm in love with Jack Nicholson.
I found Wendy a little too idiot, sometimes, but there are great scenes in this movie! It's different from the book, I agree, but still interesting and haunting. But I think it would have been better without the book in my mind...1408 was better in the short story, in my opinion, since I've seen the movie just after reading it. But maybe it's a great movie, and it's like The Shining for the first character, a good actor! But Jack is the best.

I've read a few pages of The Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer.
Next to come:
Tunnels 4 (Closer) by Roderick Gordon & Brian Williams
and
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
-
I did it once, because my mother refused to buy me a book. But when I'll be old enough to go outside alone with loads of money, I will never EVER go into a bookshop and leave it without 3 or 4 news friends in my bag!
-
I'm also going to buy Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, I hope I will find it in France, although I don't know if it's named like that here.
-
Okay, thanks, I'll watch the movie while trying to forget the book.
It was the same for 1408, I was wondering why they did it like that. -
I finished Shining, but I heard that the movie isn't as good as the book (it wouldn't be difficult though, what a fantastic read!), so should I see it now or will I think for two hours "oh my God that is terribly bad"?
-
Just finished Shining by Stephen King! I loved it.
-
I bought The Second Life of Bree Tanner (maybe it's not the right translation, sorry) and Closer, the fourth one of the series Tunnels! I have not finish the third yet, but I have to say that I love it.

[ sorry too late, my city started with a C -.- ]

24 November for me, that's cruel.
Can't wait to see Ron leave Harry and Hermione, since I was tired of seeing him following his friends without a word. I'm in love with him. But my favourite chapter was Snape's story.
-
Sooo as I said, these are the three novels in the big book from the bookstore: Shining, Salem's Lot and Night Shift. I'm already reading Lord of the Rings but I can't wait to start Shining.
-
I found the song FUNNY, but maybe we were not many who understood the franglais they sang.
Anyway, I know all their other songs, and it's by far the most funny band I know. -
Kasabiaaaan - Everything, every album, every song, every live, I'm crazy about it and can't wait to see them in 23 days!
-
Kim - Eminem
I never listen to rap, I think I only listen to Eminem, but it's the millionth time that I listen to this song in a row so I guess that it tells me something.
-
Finished Alone by Lisa Gardner! Now I will finish my book of Jean-Paul Sartre, and then finish all the books I have to close: Wuthering Heights, Sepulchre, and there must be others. And then I'll start my bought books like Labyrinth by Kate Mosse.
-
Sci Fi: a BORING book, like the most boring book ever written. I don't want to remember the title. I want to forget it for ever.
Fantasy: I don't know if I have ever read one. Maybe I did but I was when I was a child, I will buy a real fantasy book and it will be my first!
Horror: Hm... 1408 by Stephen King?
These are things that I have to read: Sci Fi, Horror and Fantasy, obviously I'm nothing more than a little little little amateur!
-
I used to embroider, but now I don't have the time anymore! Except at summer vacation. I made bibs for the news kids in my family, or embroidered their names on plushes.
-
Bernard Werber! What? He isn't famous out of France?
I love him. -
Anything by Danny Elfman! I'd say Edward Scissorhands, and Corpse Bride.
Not by Danny Elfman, I love the soundtrack of The Perfume.
-
France, and I'm happy to be there because it's not too hot. I don't hate hot weather, but I love cold weather and never feel hot, so everyone is like "Oh my God you must be sweating a lot" and I don't feel hot at all.
"There will be only one left" books

I'm noting all your titles, because soon I'll go to London (where books are waaaaay cheaper than in France!) so I will buy what I'll find!
I remember a French show (a FAKE show) where there was a famous TV celebrity, and she was encouraging random people to do a game: they had to answer questions, and if they were wrong they had the choice to continue and send an electric shock to a man they couldn't see (but he wasn't receiving the shocks, obviously), or to end the game with absolutely no problem, they would'nt be killed or something like that. And just because the girl was saying "it's alright, go on", they ended up sending lethal electric shocks (200 V or so), never thinking it was bad if the man wasn't screaming with suffering anymore.
It's not really a "there will be only one left" story, but that asked the question: "Am I better than these persons, would I have quit the game?"
