It could be the dark side of eternity, I suppose - I could imagine some poor character finding endlessness on the other side of life... Or, perhaps, there's ring of those stories where someone is caught replaying the same thing, over and over again. I'd glance at it for certain. ^_^

"There was once..." Says my google translator.

The fact that the title wasn't in English, I'd certainly take a look at it. It makes me think of a romance, or maybe a fantasy tale. Or maybe a story about a fight between the Italian mob bosses down the road? XD

Sounds boring. Because doesn't all wind blow? I've never heard of any kind of wind that doesn't blow. And it also has not the slightest reference to what the story could be about...unless its about a wind that blows! But like I said, all wind does that XD

I want to try it again

Recalls to mind Cirque Du Soleil, though with a slightly darker impression. Somehow (perhaps coming from Mlle Clau ^_~) it makes me think of the irony involved in an act meant to be fantastic. On its own, I'd pick it up if merely for the lovely look of the words together.

I have no idea what it is, a person's name? A place? It's a little too fantasy for me. I'd like it better if it had something to go along with it, The Road To Sankt Gorod or something. It's hard for me to like something I have no idea how to pronounce. :P

Sounds like something along the lines of Gone with the Wind. I probably wouldn't pick it up unless the cover art was intriguing.

Mm I see death. Probably a drama. I would note it's title while walking by but probably would not pick it up unless the cover was spectacular and probably pink or light blue [why, i don't know]. But of course this is all a matter of personal opinion.

Mm. The alliteration makes me wince and I'm not sure how to get my mouth around it LOL. I get an impression of perhaps something pulp fiction-esq, not sure why. Too upbeat somehow. I might look at it just to see what you were talking about, but the cover art and blurb would have to be really good for this one.

Sounds like fantasy, but, lol, everything sound liek fantasy to me, hehe. 'The Devil's Footsteps'... Hm... The 'footstep' part somehow makes me think of crimes, detectives, mysteries....

Just wanted to add that it might be without 'fan' - I'm translating a Polsih title :)

Some sort of historical fiction... it lacks punch, though. There'd have to be some good cover art for me to pick it up.

Mm. Kind of conventional. I might pick it up, depending on the cover art, but it doesnt really grab me.

Ha...I can't judge without laughing too much to think of it objectively. Meaning, naturally, I'd have to pick it up for 'old time's sake' ^_~
