The Bitter End

This is the most famous song of Placebo, called "The Bitter End". Placebo is one of my favorite bands, and the singer, Brian Molko, is actually the best singer I've ever known.
All the songs of this band remind me old memories, because, for a strange reason, they seem to talk about the life Romy and me leaded until she "died".
Placebo is an English band which exists since 1994.

Stalker - The Book

My favourite book is Stalker. It has been writen by Arkadi and Boris Strougatski in 1972, and the original title is "Piknik na obochine" wich means "picnic along the path". This book tells the story of Redrick Souhart, a man who lives right next to a contaminated place where extra-terrestrians came, and left a few days later, leaving behind them strange objects, substances, even deadly traps, and the Golden Ball, the final objective of every stalker, which is supposed to make the one who catches it happy for the rest of his life by granting his wishes. So, Redrick Souhart, called Red, is one of the stalkers of the town who try to reach the Golden Ball. But, the problem is that the Ball can't be reached by one only man... They have to be two, because one man must die for the other to walk through the traps safely and take the ball.
But Red is different from the other stalkers... He doesn't want to use the Golden Ball for himself, but for everyone to be happy, becauses he doesn't want to see anybody suffer anymore, and wants people to have the life they dreamt of. He always does everything he can to help, heal, save people (even the other stalkers, what is against he Stalkers' Surviving Rules) because he considers that life is too precious to be destroyed by something which is totally vain.

This is the cover of the French edition of Stalker.

In the beginning...

So, let me introduce myself. My name is Solenne, but my friends use to call me Senn or Red, for different reasons : Senn is the second name of Chihiro in the cartoon of Hayao Miyazaki, one of my favourite films, and Red a character of my favourite book, who's exactly like me, like my reflect.
For now, I'm sixteen, and I was born in 1995 in the North of France, in Amiens. I ride horses, play the violin, the bass guitar, the electric and classical guitar.
I love reading books, writing stories, or listening to music. I'm also keen on going out with my friends to have a walk, talk about our lives and laugh together.

This blog is going to be about my favourite books, bands, films, or I maybe will post novels, I don't know yet.

Have a good visit!
