Message de grabuge posté le 30-06-2005 à 20:35:03 (S | E | F | I)
Hello,
Would you like another game ? It's the sameof as Lethidee's game but we must find a novel and why not his author.
We can give the first name of the authors to make the game easier.
I start.
The Last week, I read a great book. His author is French and he is an architect.
The story is about a man who is the only person to see and hear a beautiful woman who is in the coma.
Good luck

What an idea, Grabuge !
I'd also say like Idem : Marc Lévy, "Et si c'était vrai" ?
The second part of this novel is "Où es-tu?".
You'd like his other stories, you know !

No Serena, "Où es-tu" isn't the sequel of this book. Marc Lévy has written the sequel recently but I don't remember the title of this book.

Hello grabuge and everybody
I'm afraid to be without help for the novel written by Serge B...
May I propose a new title ? It's a great novel written a long time ago.
For me, it is a mystery because some people aren't sure of the real author. Anyway, it's the story of a strange man who is in quest of adventure and truth.
Do you have an idea of this character ?

Hi there !

I think about a novel written by a man who is in first a journalist. This man travelled a lot and felt in love with India. Half of his copyright are given to a foundation which helps poverty people in this country.
It's a true story about the discovery of the first person diseaded of "AID" in America and the researchs made by American and French teams. This novel narrates the actions of "Soeur Emmanuelle" in India.
All that is a great love story and expectation.

Hello grabuge,
Is it something a novel written by Kafka or maybe Boris Vian?
I'm just speculating!!
Réponse: Guess a novel de grabuge, postée le 16-07-2005 à 21:58:29 (S | E)
Hello,
Kafka était l'ainé, par contre, l'auteur auquel je pense et Boris Vian aurait pu aller à la même école... mais pas dans la même classe.

Comme ça ne peut pas être Bertold Brecht, je pensais à "Homme pour Homme" 1925, alors c'est peut-être A.Camus.

Hello grabuge
The world of Ionesco isn't mine and I red this book a long time ago because I had to study it. I must confess that I don't remember it very well.

Hello !
Guess this one please.
.....A writer, fed up with the stories he used to write, decided in his last one to "kill" the main character which made him become famous. And he did. He started writing a new one, which deals with subjects he prefers. One day, he wakes up and finds himself in an unknown house, his legs broken, unable to move. He was there, alone, with a woman who didn't forgive him to have killed that main character.
The main character of this writer's stories is the title of the book I'm asking you to find out.

Hello,
May I propose a novel?
It is the story of a young American specialist who is called by an old man because of an horrible murder which has just happened. The victim has been "tattooed" by his murderer. The word tattooed on his skin reminds the young specialist of a forgotten "sect".
Good luck

Yes, it is. The beginning is a bit stunning and long, compared to "the Da Vinci code", but then I read it with a real pleasure, and as for the former one, I could not stop reading.

A clue, please, just one Réponse: Guess a novel de aimen7, postée le 19-07-2005 à 07:59:54 (S | E)
Good morning,
Alright grabuge, here is a clue. There is a scarf(foulard) in the story which is important for him to solve the crime(it's an evidence). If I remember well, he proves also the innocence of a woman. I read it when I was 18, the author is French and well_known. He died a few years ago: In 1995 or 1996 ??

Hi Grabuge and Aimen,
Is the author Georges Simenon?
Réponse: Guess a novel de grabuge, postée le 19-07-2005 à 21:20:22 (S | E)
hI Jeanmi, I had completely forgotten Georges Simenon though I knew almost his novels...
Réponse: Guess a novel de jeanmi, postée le 19-07-2005 à 21:35:03 (S | E)
Yes, I used to read his novels when I was at school. I think he is one of the writers who made me like reading, with "La comtesse de Segur", don't laugh, it's true.

Good evening,
I'm sorry, I have forgotten that you were looking for clues, obviouslt, you haven't read my book or maybe you don't simply remember that beatiful story written by ---Des---, who died a few years ago.
The story was about a very clever blind mute and deaf man who helped the police solve a crime....

I add something to guide you.
When you aren't able to see, to hear or to speak, the two other senses(touch and smell senses) are so developed that they replace the others and you can guess things or feel things that the others are unable to see...

Grabuge, you're really amazing.
I also read Guy des Cars. But the only book I remember is "La maudite". Seems that it left a mark on me, cause at the time, I found it incredible and somehow frightening.
