Anglesh Major: from philosophy books to manga

The monster by Ingrid Falaise, who tells a true story, but in a novel. I auditioned for a role in the TV series that was made out of it and it didn't work out. But recently I saw the book and thought it would be fun to read it. I fell in love with Ingrid Falaise's writing. Yes she speaks of a monster, but she does not describe him as a monster. On the contrary, he is a super sweet and handsome man. It happens often and that's why narcissistic people manage to make victims. His book shows it well.

So far, what are your main favorite books?

In the end, what I remember are the books that really made me evolve. And there are a few:

• Miseryby Stephen King. I was so young when I read that… Much too young no doubt! It was my first relationship with horror, but real horror. The atmosphere is very heavy and the story is terrible!
• The perfume of Patrick Süskind. I really like the antihero in this story. I like when we get into the human before the horror. Because finally, the book goes quietly into horror…
• The Naruto. When I was little, it was very hard for me to learn French because I spoke Creole. But reading manga helped me. I was a huge fan of the Naruto series! There are a lot of things in pictures that you can't reproduce on TV or in a novel. There can be several pages like that without a single word, and that's where I entered my imagination.
• I also love mythology, especially Greek. I had a mythology class in CEGEP and I was sure it was the kind of class where we would sleep. But not at all ! The teacher made us buy Mythologyby Edith Hamilton, a book that explains all of Greek mythology as if you were reading a novel. A very big favorite for me.
• I'm currently playing in the Stat series. It's a daily that we shoot very quickly and I found myself reading Paradox sur le actorby Denis Diderot. When you're an actor you have so much anxiety and as an actor, this book makes me feel good. When I read it, I have the impression that I am not crazy, that it is normal that some days I am less good than others. We are in motion, we are moving, we are not static.

Do you remember the book thanks to which you started to love reading?

It might sound kitschy, but it's with the Harry Potter series. In 6th grade, when I started reading it, I was eagerly awaiting the next volume. It really made me love reading and even today, I tell myself that I lived with it. As soon as the characters went to sleep, I went to sleep too. And the next day, I woke up with them!

Can you tell us about a thriller that you loved?

The void< /em>by Patrick Senecal. My God! It is the story of three men: a detective who investigates murders, a billionaire and a psychologist. There is no connection between them, but they will eventually meet because they have all gone too far. What I liked about this novel is that it makes us see the dark sides, no matter what we do.
