Dear musicanidi, my new stuff stops at 100 Years of Solitude; unfortunately, I haven't read anything more recent. I wanted to include Sartre (Nausea) in the list as well, but it's not showing up for me, I mean, a serious search engine should be able to find Sartre. And I also like his partner (Memories of a Good Girl).

  You are right... unfortunately, the debaser database is limited to reviewed works; for books and DVDs, it is restricted, while for music, it relies on musicbrainz. In any case, on the author's page, it is possible to add a work...

  It means that if I find the author but not the work, I rank what I find and then specify with a caption which work I was looking for. After all, I’ve already done this with Simenon. Excellent writer, but a terrible person.

  Look... it's a bit hidden, but -if done well- on all the author pages (like this one Pagina non trovata you can find a handy "Submit a work" button... @[musicanidi] it could actually be done, but it's not that simple... do you know someone...

Everything is great except for the first place, which I would burn at the stake, and the absence of DFW. The presence of Dick is intriguing... I preferred Ubik, but it's an excellent choice. To each their own, but in my opinion, your tastes are excellent :-)

  You are absolutely right, hell rocks, it fits perfectly. So I’ll add that I see Purgatory like those garage bands that work in basements, while Paradise is Beethoven's Ninth. (The Ode to Joy)

  Well, if we consider that Aldo Busi hates Dante because he sees him as a moralist, and Allegri thinks Jovanotti is better than Beethoven because he is more rhythmic...
- algol

  Moralist Dante, Busi, who is a cultured person, should remember what period Dante was from before writing certain things; morality constantly changes. Just think about how women or even homosexuals were regarded 50 years ago; today it’s completely different. It also changes according to latitude. In my opinion, Busi just wanted to make a catchy statement, but whether he really believes it, I have my doubts.
- Dan Erre
  28 apr 17
  
  Well, I find it disconcerting that the excellent author of "Seminario sulla gioventù" says nonsense. Among other things, just reading Dante shows that his Christian moralism, which is obviously present due to the very nature of the work, is always accompanied by a strong pietas, for Paolo and Francesca as much as for Pier delle Vigne, not to mention the presence of tributes, as for Farinata, Brunetto Latini and the "spiriti magni," or Arnaut Daniel and Provenzan Salvani in Purgatorio. In short: it would be enough to read it carefully. And I’ll refrain from commenting on the form...
- Lauretta
  28 apr 17
  
  I would like to see if anyone has anything to say about the form. Busi is a great intellectual and is also an excellent writer, certainly not someone who says nonsense, but he is also someone who adores catchy phrases when in front of an audience (he’s not the only one). I remember he once said: men fuck so badly that if a woman went on a cable car ride with the wind between her thighs, she would definitely enjoy it much more.

Yes, I didn't find it in the database, so I wrote it down where I had placed it. I'll do the same with: La Nausea by Sartre and also with that of his companion Simone de Beauvoir: Memoires d'une jeune fille bien. Then, as I think of others, I'll do the same. I haven't read Incesto, but if you recommend it so highly, I'll add it to my waiting list; I've already read the review and it seems really good, by the way it's less than 10 euros. Hi, thanks for stopping by.

I compliment you on your literary culture. I also recommend Roth's "Sabbath's Theater," if you’re not familiar with it, then "Middlesex" by Eugenides, which I’ve been reading recently, and going to the literary giants, something by Faulkner.

  Well, yes. Why are there works by others under various titles? For example: Orwell and Pessoa, or the surprising Rodari and Baudelaire? Have you drawn any parallels? Established any analogies? I would have also included Kafka, Musil, Joyce, Calvino, Boll, Mann, Cervantes, Kerouac, Salinger... in fact, I think much more easily about music album charts than about book charts. You did well! Wouldn't it have been better to create a separate chart for poetry?
- Lauretta
  20 may 17
  
  Salinger is there, with two books. Rodari is the best Italian children's author (and for adults, why not?) of the last century. Unique style, clarity, and simplicity are his trademarks. I found Kafka, Calvino, and Mann a bit heavy, the same goes for Gadda (the pasticciaccio) and Proust. Even Joyce, although Molly Bloom's soliloquy is wonderful. My ideal writer is Salinger, while I read Kerouac a long time ago; I liked it, but I'm afraid that if I reread it, I might change my mind, I didn't like the film. I didn’t draw parallels, but I wrote down those that the search engine couldn’t find on my own. Anyway, it’s a matter of taste; I know that Kafka or Proust are among the greatest of all time, calling them heavy might be too much. Gadda is also brilliant, but his writing (wonderful) is too refined.
- Almotasim
  20 may 17
  
  Okay, I didn’t understand that both titles needed to be read because of Debaser's limits. Also, some titles are commented on. So your ranking is even more beautiful. You are absolutely right about Rodari, who I always enjoy (I bought Il libro degli errori last year!). The word "pesantucci" is fine to describe those elegant, very intellectual styles. I appreciated Kafka even more after delving deeply into Judaism. Since you mentioned films, I would recommend watching Il processo (by Kafka) by Orson Wells. I wouldn’t dare to give book recommendations; you are a true expert. This Rankings section of Debaser was practically unclear to me, thank you for curiousing me with your Best.
