Well, I see that someone still has a brain to think in Italy. Fallen, it's enough to simply type "The Vatican and sexual crimes" on Google. It's a documentary produced by the BBC, created by journalist Colm O'Gordan, aired in 2006 in England and in 2007 in Italy, amid a thousand controversies (strange, don’t you think?), on the show Anno Zero. I rediscovered it a few days ago thanks to the Current channel. In the meantime, I continue to wait for answers from the author of this review. Serious and plausible answers.

What the hell kind of answer did you give me? Do you think I overestimate those problems? What the hell does "I can't become the Frate Indovino of geopolitics" have to do with anything? You talk about Ratzinger and the Holy Roman Church (as if Charlemagne had come back) and don’t even respond to a single comma of my questions? I want answers. I want your thoughts on actual things, not on your pope’s sweet philosophizing with Habermas. I want to know what you think about the fact that ONE OF THE GREATEST INTELLECTUALS OF OUR TIME deliberately sullied horrific stories of homosexual pedophilia. Where was his philosophy then?

@DeLorenzo: What do you think about the fact that the current Pope, former cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, was the main proponent (when he was still just a cardinal) of the cover-up regarding the story of Father O'Grady? Do you know who he is? If not, he's the one who abused Colm O'Gordan. Are you familiar with Crimen Sollicitationis? Have you ever been interested in the connections between pedophilia and the Church? Have you ever considered that the Pope is a head of state and, as such, impossible to prosecute in our country? Have you ever thought that his rise could be a cover for the investigation I mentioned before? Have you ever made comparisons with other heads of state or figures among the top five positions in the Italian state? Have you ever doubted that all the ostentation of the Pope creates friction with some fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ? Have you ever doubted that the majority of people in official roles within the Catholic Church do so for reasons antithetical to pure faith and vocation? I would like to know what you think about all this.

Zero Tolerance and Acid House I miss. I'd give Ecstasy an extra position even though I don't know los otros.

I also appreciate "Handle with Care," but I don't place it above the other novels. Of Welsh, I prefer "the filthy," brutally so. Welsh is another great wanker when it comes to writing.

Oh no, "I'll tag along" to chaos... otherwise I’d back you up too! Anyway, putting trains aside, "The Dark Side of the Soul" was given to me as a gift. At first, I was really happy because I was unaware of the plot and its value, but then... What genre do you define it as, PCAZP? It's neither fish nor fowl.

Great Lansdale. I miss this, as well as some others from the Hap & Leonard series. Damn Athenaeum. The review shows that you know particularly well what you’re writing about. My compliments. I do not recommend "il lato oscuro dell'anima" (it’s not from Hap & Leo, just to be clear!). Maybe one day I’ll review it to better explain my reasons.

So remedy it right away. Ballard has an excellent bibliography! Starting from this "Super-Cannes"...

Here, on Ballard, dear Panapp, we could chat cheerfully and, from what I read, quite in tune as well. Well done, really. I am particularly fond of "High-Rise."

Escher ad vitam. A somewhat brief review...
