That's very odd, the subject should've been "I just finished reading The Long Walk by Stephen King", but the last part didn't show up. Anyway, I'm not sure I got it.

I read that one a long time ago. They walk and walk and walk and it's some kind of a contest, right? The boys who have troubles along the way get killed, right?

Yeah, 100 boys start walking. If you fall below 4 mph, you get a warning, three warnings and they shoot you.

I'm not sure I got it after I read it either. I don't think there's much there to be got, actually. At one point they were going to make it into a movie, with Wil Wheaton as the lead, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I think that's why it never got made. This was after Running Man came out, and I think they were basically going to change the entire story around like they did with that movie and turn the premise into something with a plot.
Glad they didn't, that would've been a loser for sure.
