Should Men Wear Girdles

May, my reading


McCarthy's books are not very long, but just as intense, unique setting and memorable characters. Although this book is not missing his other peculiarities McCarthyane typically be read in one breath.


First, a small publishing house that deserves visibility, Second speech and artistic design, a mix that is a real gem, Third: Christian Mascheroni, a guy who knows his own making. A book alive, intense, romantic, even melancholy. I brought it everywhere around, to remind me, walking down the street that could happen all over, including chance encounters that could change your mind about many things ...


Double story, very intense, some features dreamy, philosophical but without falling into complex figures of thought and language too articulate. Two sad lives that seem remote in time and space, crossing each other. Causing so many emotions in the reader. There are minutes, hours of reading really intense, touching as few.


His latest book published. One of the 60-odd which held in a shoe box in his apartment in Brussels, making us mad all his fans anxiously awaiting more of 'his titles, than the one book a year out? Again, all ingredients are mixed Athombiani with his usual skill and strength. A current topic rather disturbing is the background (and it is an effect-cause) to the usual social cobweb made of complex feelings and relationships. Celebrities, as usual, very strong and expressive presence. We see that Amelie loves his creatures.


A fantastic book, which can not 'miss in those libraries where the book has a meaning that goes beyond anything imaginable. It 'a hymn book, the emotions it transmits, to the unforgettable moments that can give from a sense of it all. A beautiful story, a declaration of love for reading. I was completely hooked.

Goodbye, Jose



He left us, so ', without words, suddenly. As seems to bring together the fate of the most' large.
87 years, is thought to be a better age, a time of life when a person has already said and done. But he 'is an exception to this rule, pseudo-age as an indicator of what' was done, was an immortal, with its extraordinary clarity that has accompanied him to death would give us many more wonderful moments reading, many other issues for discussion, that there has never failed in all his public support. That is not never go unnoticed, often raising objections, fights, repartee, often going to touch the raw nerve of some outstanding personalities or throwing burning issues. Bald-faced, the pen, its unique culture and intelligence, which made him one of the greatest personalities of the writing of our day.
was interested in everything, talked about everything, he expressed himself on everything. He did so as a journalist and then as a writer, with his usual frankness, who does not intend to send her to say. Never. And for this, perhaps, did not think twice about to publish his notebook, whose thoughts were originally designed exclusively for his blog. Einaudi has refused, for obvious political reasons, you can not ', in Italy, publish something that clashes with the interests of large landowners. Just to enhance the transparency and democratic veins seems our country does not want to show in any way.
His masterpiece BLINDNESS 'is a book which should be read, reread, enjoyed in every single word. He touched the conscience of everyone, including the fears, weaknesses, prompted thoughts, even stronger, by injecting doubt useful to make a very careful examination, the human intestine, disturbing, moving thoughts, overturning convictions that seemed to have acquired .
Every writer, as a person, should reflect their own writing and the themes chosen are one of the voices of their identity card. In Saramago has always been so ', showing it in front of a mirror you read his books. Leaving a lot, have a strong taste of immortality, just like him, so he decided, 'leave us orphans of everything' that was for everyone. Will be missed by all. Hello Jose.

Fast Food Questionnaire Formats

expose these phantom "flights" that are not so cheap


Once upon a time the economy (and in a sense the pocket).
Once the pocket was cheap, and cheap paperbacks. In addition to first editions. A full price.
prices, the euro got out without going to love our old lire, ranged from 4 to 8 supereconomici of 90 €. What is a pocket book / statement? A less cumbersome to carry around, purse, backpack, pocket, but also, by the publisher and the author to sell more over time a title that came out of the news and like, and how if you like, even the reader who apparently can not 'afford 15-16-17-18 € a pop for a title. Today I noticed a books, Cornwell defined economic, entered in the series Best Sellers "cheap" of Mondadori. The price I was shocked. € 13, € 20 with the paperback edition. But the one of the economic environment is less economical is now a reality, unfortunately for us readers. It would be enough to stop a bit 'in any library and notice of this additional weight imposed on the players' pockets. Many, many pocket, so even in editions are not beautiful to have and to protect, often easy to damage, bend, with bindings approximate, with a print of the text leaves much to be desired at times, now cost from € 10-11 up '. Madness. Pocket-cheap 15 euro? This is the bad habit that has become accustomed Mondadori, Einaudi enough too. Other publishing houses. For now, resist (but for how long?) The Tea, Adelphi, and the beautiful Newton Compton, Feltrinelli (but now with Saramago in the catalog, the economies of the author who died yesterday, again raised the price considerably).
There 's even those who have no economic issue (eg Elliot, Minimum Fax, Hyperborea), who has just decided to create a (Marcos y Marcos, among others). Question of opportunities, editorial choices.
Pero 'prices go up. With a degree, and dangerous, continuity. Unavoidable that it feels like. The solution? At this rate to get hurt are the publishers, who are at risk who can not afford an own goal. It is expected, from the point of view more 'pessimistic, a growing and constant reference to libraries and book stores. Speaking as a reader, who wants to spend on books and wants to continue doing so, I wonder why want to enjoy this' us community of readers? The reader is perhaps one of the figures that ensure greater fidelity to their passion. And give guarantees of revenues to their favorite publishers. Why force them to rethink their spending, their walks into the library, and reduced their consumption? (Defiantly I wonder) We return to the seventeenth-eighteenth century when literature was a consumer elite? Unless the ebook, does not become an important source of revenue, additional. But then what do you do? It is sold at an affordable price to the electronic book and continue to raise the paper? Yet the prospects are unclear, partly because the ebook in Italy has not yet taken several feet, at least for fiction.
