playing this CD at the Christmas Eve dinner is priceless more
nirvana -nevermind
Nevermind is not a masterpiece. But it is a very important album in the history of rock and the Nirvana. Cobain is the magnet of the band; his raw and tender voice and his rough guitar tell the story of the discontent of the main rock icon of the 90s with anger. more

Bohumil Hrabal -Una solitudine troppo rumorosa
Hant'a has been working for thirty-five years at a paper compactor. While doing his job, he occasionally collects discarded books ready to be destroyed and piles them up in his home. Hant'a thus becomes "educated against his will": he knows and learns the thoughts of Hegel, Nietzsche, Kant, and other important writers. Hant'a lives in a constant state of drunkenness, due to the numerous beers he drinks during work. The opening of a new, technologically advanced press causes Hant'a a sort of estrangement and discomfort that brings him close to suicide. more
Patricia Highsmith -Idilli d’estate
In this 1995 novel (the last one, sigh...), we witness a murder at the beginning and an accidental death at the end.

We are in Zurich, described in summer: a young man, a twenty-something gay, is stabbed by two sad figures outside a cinema... (from sololibri.net) more
Patricia Highsmith -Ripley sott'acqua
Tom Ripley has a beautiful villa in Fontainebleau, a charming and devoted wife, a substantial bank account, and a clear conscience, though not an immaculate one. To disturb his well-deserved peace, painstakingly achieved after the murders in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "The American Friend," this time it is Pitchard, an eccentric neighbor who senses the illicit origins of Ripley's well-being and happiness and has decided to delve into his suspicions.
