Leuk, een literaire avond! Voor mij een mooie gelegenheid om enkele van mijn favoriete auteurs in het zonnetje te zetten. Voor Wim werkte dat heel anders: het blijkt veel eenvoudiger te zijn om leuke songs bij elkaar te zoeken, en daar dan een boektitel bij te vinden… Mooi toch hoe je met zo’n simpel thema toch heel verschillende benaderingen kunt nemen!

Hij komt erachter dat hij bepaalde gebeurtenissen in zijn leven nog niet heeft verwerkt. Kan hij de tijd nog terugdraaien voordat het te laat is? Wat begint als een normale werkdag voor Nando, eindigt in een groot drama, een nachtmerrie waar geen einde aan lijkt te komen.

3. Simple Minds “Big Sleep”
Raymond Chandler

4. Cocteau Twins & Dead can Dance “Alice”

Alice in Blunder land is Alice in fourth grade. The final prequel, Lovingly Alice, follows Alice through the troubles of fifth grade. The first book (after the prequels) is The Agony of Alice.

5. The Cure “Last day of summer”
Steve Kruger
Last Days of Summer is the story of Joey Margolis, neighborhood punching bag, growing up goofy and mostly fatherless in Brooklyn in the early 1940s. A boy looking for a hero, Joey decides to latch on to Charlie Banks, the all-star third baseman for the New York Giants. But Joey’s chosen champion doesn’t exactly welcome the extreme attention of a persistent young fan with an overactive imagination. Then again, this strange, needy kid might be exactly what Banks needs.

6. Rose of Avalanche “Velveteen”
Daniel Marks
Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw.

7. Love and Rockets “Holy Fool”
Joanne Harris
This story has been in my mind, in one form or another, for quite some time. I finished an early version of it before I wrote Chocolat, and came back to it five years later, having realized that I still liked the characters and the story, and that I wanted to see it completed. It precedes (and complements) Chocolat in a number of ways. Firstly, my central character, Juliette, has many things in common with Vianne Rocher (most especially in terms of her relationship with her mother and her young daughter). She might easily be an ancestor of Vianne (LeMerle, too, fits in with Reynaud’s ancestry), as she too is a traveller, a witch of sorts, and has a number of unorthodox ideas on spirituality.

8. The chameleons “swamp thing”
Alan Moore
Swamp Thing, a fictional character, is a humanoid/plant creature elemental in the DC Comics Universe, created by writer Len Wein and artist Berni Wrightson. Swamp Thing has had several humanoid or monster incarnations, depending on various story lines. He first appeared in House of Secrets #92 (July 1971) in a stand-alone horror story set in the early 20th century.[1] The character then returned in a solo series, set in the contemporary world and in the general DC continuity.[2] The character is a humanoid mass of vegetable matter who fights to protect his swamp home, the environment in general, and humanity from various supernatural or terrorist threats.

After the wedding, nursing her broken heart with a Rin Tin Tin marathon plus a vodka chaser, Van accidentally orders a German Shepherd puppy over the Internet. When “Joe” turns out to be a hundred-pound beast who only responds to commands in Slovak, Van is at the end of her rope-until she realizes that sometimes life needs to get more complicated before it can get better.
