In the beginning, there were Faith, Hope, and Charity. Then they had rankings. Not that it was a big loss for the Italian prog, but they are original.
Silvio Berlusconi L'Italia Che Ho In Mente

it's not my phrase... but I don't remember who said it
when the Lenin monument fell, more or less, the sense of history was perceived
when Berlusconi falls, at most, the perception will be that of a crime news.
Silvio Berlusconi L'Italia Che Ho In Mente
Voto:
Talking about Berlusconi and expecting a measured response is quite a courageous (read: foolish) thing to do, and I give you that. Your political analysis, while at least consistent, is pathetic; in the end, you're just talking nonsense.
First thing, the title. The title should have been "Italy as imagined by Gelli," since he has fully implemented the P2 plan for democratic rebirth (and Gelli has publicly stated this).
Another point in your review: you say "one cannot deny that Berlusconi also has some limits." I'm afraid that multimedia clown really doesn't have any.
As for the vote: he doesn’t even deserve a one; he deserves a "fuck you" to you and everyone who votes for him for ruining my country. Even though I've been living abroad for years (and I have to say, fortunately), I still consider it mine.
I won't even describe the country as a normal, European one, where the news discusses him very differently than in all the Italian news broadcasts (the majority of Italians continue to vote for him because, of course, there’s barely any information about him).
To the vote, to the book (to the paper crap) - FU to the cube.

Douglas Adams Guida Galattica Per Gli Autostoppisti
Voto:
No! When I talked about a critique of bourgeois conventionalism, I was referring to Bunuel the director, an artist who used the same kind of humor, at least it reminds me of him. Knowing Adams quite well (not just from his novels), his thought is much more fiercely critical of any dogma or religion. For example, the text you mention could be flipped; instead of scientism, one could say that man is too attached to dogmas or sacred texts that self-certify as truth (let's not forget that the guide has among its most cited advantages the phrase DO NOT PANIC, very sharp, don’t you think?). Anyway, even the paradox, especially those used by Adams, is the basis of mathematical and scientific logic. You are right; it’s difficult to describe this work in just a few words. However, it is a masterpiece. Your review is well done; it makes one want to read it, though I would have talked a little more about it without quoting scenes that, taken in isolation, might recall humor from a spent bullet. I’ve been strict because this book is fundamental for me; it has given me much more food for thought than many classics. So, alright, I’ll raise the average.
Douglas Adams Guida Galattica Per Gli Autostoppisti

5 without a doubt
for the entire saga (to be read in one go).
I believe it has extremely intelligent humor, (in a sense also philosophical).
I found the movie disappointing, but it was hard to do justice to the genius that emerged from these stories in a film.
The review, well no offense
wasn't bad, but you limited yourself to citing a few gems and commenting on them.
A story that starts from the fundamental answer (without having the question),
and ends with
the Message of God to all the inhabitants of the universe; perhaps a book like this deserved more analysis.
So much so that it leaves no room for those who have only seen the film and think that the book is just a more beautiful comic fantasy than the movie.
I've followed the literary controversy on the admissible comparisons with Pirandello.
Here's my take:
Adams contains as much as Pirandello, Kundera, or whoever you want,
it doesn’t matter if he uses humor; it depends on what one can read in his paradoxes.
Personally, I find him somewhat similar to Bunuel; he used humor to destroy bourgeois conventions, and Adams does the same, with the same ferocity, against beliefs, dogmas, and absolutistic and universal convictions.
To stay within literature,
perhaps the most immediate comparison is 'Venus on the Half Shell' by Farmer,
another must-read book, also comparable to people like Pirandello, Manzoni, or what do I know... Torquato Tasso (and Pier Capponi?).

or remember the negation of the early cccp and the more recent Zu and Uzeda to reach 80%
Then also in prog there weren't just Area, even if they were the best, Italian bands of this genre were ((and still are highly appreciated)) abroad)
shall we say 70% and sold?
