I've read about 5-6 books by Roth: Portnoy's Complaint and American Pastoral (the latter a bit challenging in some parts...) which, as far as I'm concerned, are his masterpieces. I know people who have a crazy fixation on him, and almost all of them tell me that over the years he’s gradually transforming into an old pig. If you've read anything of his, you might have noticed that the sexual component always carries a certain weight, but - from what they tell me - it’s becoming increasingly "bulky." Bunker is another great one. I don't know what they’ve recommended to you. I've read Animal Factory and Sniper's Post (which is actually his autobiography) and - especially the second one - I liked them a lot.

Over time, I've somewhat revised my judgment on this album. Downwards. Periscope had the fattest and squarest sounds of their career and some riffs of such total ignorance that I might appreciate it more than this one. In the end, CO2 is a transitional album, with few peaks and many "mediocre" tracks, which seem to be embryonic versions of what will come in the following records. It's as if a bit of courage was missing, a bit of desire to dare, to completely break away from the song form and unleash the more jammy side. I still believe, though, that the opening of Get It On is one of the best things in stoner music since Gardenia. Well done, Micio!!

What drives me crazy about pathological passers of gas is their refusal to engage in self-criticism. In fact, as Valvonauta would say, "al'lautocritica". It's a bit like the learned DarkHaem and his thousand female fakes or the ever-missed Mariaelena. I believe the whole site pointed out that it seemed like she had studied syntax with Biscardi, but there hasn't been a single time when she admitted, "Yes, I made a mistake in writing." Even here: in this review, there's the same sequence as a chrono-odyssey made with a time machine built from popsicle sticks flavored with anise, but no... it's all our egocentrism's fault. It’s true that a happy heart helps you with the skies.

Figura! :) I too had some difficulty with "Teresa" at first. Probably because, to truly appreciate it, you really have to immerse yourself (...) in the oblique universe where Jodorowsky resides. However, after the initial disorientation, you somehow get captivated, you start to play along, and it all becomes quite enjoyable. Right now, I have a bit of an obsession with Roberto Bolano: I discovered him thanks to a review by Debasio and a suggestion from the great Odra. I started with The Savage Detectives (great book, even though it’s a bit lengthy...) and now I’m devouring The Third Reich like a lobster. So far, highly recommended. Back in the day, I don’t think I mentioned Patrick McGrath to you: he’s an English writer, famous for being the author of Spider, the novel adapted into the Cronenberg film. I’ve read a few of his books and really liked "Follia". If you're interested... :)

Good review. A group that I strongly doubt would interest me. Bye bye.

Non-historical novels that deal with grand political conspiracies, with a governmental longa manus that sweeps away dissenters et similia usually leave me somewhat perplexed. Essentially because the risk, in these cases, is a strong trivialization of the theme and the recycling of narrative solutions that feel overused since Bradbury. This novel is not free of flaws, but remains, in my opinion, a great book. Partly because of Saramago's prose (which almost always delights me), and partly because of that ruthless ending. It’s as if Saramago wanted to take away from readers even that morsel of hope that remained at the end of Blindness. Screw Choelo and his bread, butter, and jam endings.

@Macaco: see? Even this outrage gets a "very good" review and scores a 4. And I'm the one who's annoying...

In my opinion, it's the site that has softened up! :) The reviewer, last time, sent three consecutive equally short and unintelligible reviews and has already been bombarded with snowballs of crap by several users. In this review, there’s a sentence of four lines written in Italian at a 2nd-grade level and without a verb. Moreover, they give 5 stars to a book that is surely among the most anonymous of this author. Last, but not least, I can't stand those who mistake this site for the Windows Recycle Bin and send reviews in bulk, without even bothering to write a couple of lines to participate in a potential discussion. In any case: I’m still the same big cuddly bear in need of affection who charms women without provoking envy in men. But this thing about becoming a bit more sour has been mentioned by several people already... I probably just need to stop writing comments at this hour in the morning! :D

Given my maniacal passion for zombies, I couldn't miss The Walking Death. Especially since it had been portrayed to me as a little gem. I must confess, however, that it disappointed me quite a bit: the main characters seemed really anonymous and the narrative solutions were recycled to the max (basically the first three episodes are a continuous homage to Romero's filmography and its various remakes). However, I've been told that it has had good success in America and that they are preparing the second mini-series...
