I had put all three of these on hold at the library and they are in today.  Since they're all kind of similar dark genres I'm not sure what I'm in the mood to start with.  Help!

Movie Addition!

When I was trying to decide what to read next I realized I had a lot of books that are movies or are being made into movies.  These three I want to read soon, but I just can't decide which one to read first.  I need some help!

Standing on the fringes of life... offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.

Since its publication, Stephen Chbosky's haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion has received critical acclaim, provoked discussion and debate, and grown into a cult sensation with over one million copies in print. 

It is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, where all you need is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.

Through Charlie, Chbosky has created a deeply affecting novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.

I bought this a few days after seeing the movie (which I loved!).  The only thing holding me back is that it seems like it could be depressing and it's in a letter format.  

I realllllly want to see this movie.  Kierra Knightly does such a great job in classic adaptions.  I could watch Pride & Prejudice a million times.  A fellow reader said she really liked this one.  The only thing holding me back is it's long.

This movie isn't coming out for awhile, but I still want to read this one soon.  I liked Twilight and I hear it's better than that.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse enclosed by stone walls.

Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them, open. Every night they are closed tight. And that every 30 days a new boy is delivered in the lift.

Thomas was expected. Only the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. 

Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets that are buried within his mind.

I've been wanting to read this one for a long time, but it's just been sitting on my shelf.  I hear it's really good.

Some people have said this one took them awhile to get into, but others say it was really good.  I got it out from the library a week or two ago, but I haven't read it yet.

I don't technically have to read this one for another month or so, but it sounds good and I love the cover.
