Shelf Of Shame V.3 - MOVIE ROUND NOW PLAYING!

Okay, I've talked to Zaz, and he agreed that now was a good time to restart this...
The premise of the game is as follows: there will be ten rounds, each lasting twenty-four hours, one for each player. In your designated round, you will name a book that you are ashamed that you’ve never gotten around to reading. After you do so, each of the other nine players will state whether or not they have read the book you named. The following round will be movies, then songs.
At this point, the round ends and I’ll tally up the points. As to how the points are earned, I’ll give you an example:
Just for an example, say on my round, I say that I haven’t read The Catcher in the Rye. Now, we’ll say that, of the remaining nine players, eight have read it and one hasn’t. I get eight points. And the other player who hasn’t read it gets one.
Thus, and I hope this is all clear, it is in your best interest to name a book that you have not read but you think everyone else probably has. So, don’t name some obscure book like Selected Poems of Ondra Lysohorsky. No one but me has read that book (and a darn fine book it is!), so you won’t get any points and everyone else will.
This game will work on the honor system. There’s basically no way for me to know if you’re telling the truth or not about what you have or haven’t read. So, be honest, okay?
Any answer you give for a round is your final answer. You may not change it once the round has passed.
After all ten players have signed up, I’ll post a roster of the order in which the rounds will progress.
I will allow the occasional missing of rounds by noting who still needs to answer. But no more than two consecutive freebies. If you miss three turns in a row, you will be eliminated. However, I don't want to start making people get game banned for missing turns if I can help it. Things happen, and people get busy. I think three consecutive missed turns is reasonable. If for some reason you’re not going to be here during your assigned round (say your round falls on a weekend and you’re not here on weekends), you have a couple of options. Either let me know ahead of time and I’ll see about switching you with another player or else PM me your choice ahead of time and I’ll post it for you.
The winner of each round will get colors for a week. If a mod happens to win, the person with the next highest tally of points will receive the colors. The person with the least points will be game banned for 24 hours, although you may still post with a sock when game banned. Should a moderator happen to lose, he / she will not be game banned.... instead the moderator will have to sport colors and icon chosen by the host for one week. The uglier the better guys... ugly them up... I like to see the mods get tortured.. 
Once a book, movie, song is used, it will go on to the "not allowed list," and will not be used for the remainder of the game.
So let's start this game. We are resetting the non-allowed list from last time, so you can use any book you want to.
So, let's get started!
