@Geenoo: but holy God, then you tell me that I repeat myself in the comments. If I'm dealing with rocks, there's nothing I can do. Geenoo, if you don't stop saying nonsense, I'll reveal the identity of the murderer in Murder on the Orient Express too. The reason I responded that way to Kosmo is that I know she is very familiar with Lansdale. You can find all the rest in my previous 54647 comments (all the same, by the way): try rereading them. <<I, however, will not buy it, because I can't stand excessively detailed descriptions for their own sake unless they come from some Nobel Prize winner.>> There you go, me too. So you see we agree?! But then you weren't supposed to go to the bookstore to buy some thrillers to reveal the murderer to us?! Hurry up, they’ll close soon.

@Kosmo: "uh when I was a kid I read all the Wilbur Smith books..... but today I couldn't do it anymore." I'm the same with potatoes. I think I must have read about fifteen of his books, years ago. Last year I was supposed to lend "On the Shark's Trail" to a friend, so I tried to reread it: total disappointment...

Ron Jeremy was able to perform autofellatio?!? I didn't know that... But it's worth mentioning that he was/is certainly not a giant... His torso is as wide and stocky as an Ikea dresser. In any case, I recommend to the younger ones who wish to get acquainted with the art of our man to admire his performance in the first volume of the "Concetta Licata" saga.

I listened to this some time ago. I found some of the rereads beautiful. I was all excited, so I let a friend of mine, who listens to a bit of stuff like samba/Latin rhythms etc etc, hear it. He told me he thought it was crap because the arrangements are very basic for the genre... I don't know. In my opinion, it's a really fun album, as well as an interesting experiment and, all in all, pretty well done. I would be curious to know macaco's opinion!! :))

@Kosmo: as I said before, on one hand I don't like that it gets lost in unnecessary descriptions of "everything," and on the other hand, its completely impersonal style. For example, I know you’re also a fan of Lansdale. Well, if you read any page of any of his books, you immediately recognize it: it's extremely concise, often raw, has an exaggerated use of metaphors and hyperboles, employs very dry dialogue and tavern-like irony, yet manages to be profoundly "sensitive" (I think of the image of the boy nailed by the hand in "The Year of the Hurricane"...). This is something you can confuse with a thousand other writers. He simply records what happens. In the more frantic passages, he even reminded me of Wilbur Smith, just without landscape descriptions. @Terry: to everyone I've recommended him to, Carver hasn't been liked. I know he has esteemed admirers on this site, so maybe I'm not the best person to judge. However, if you want to give it a try, start with Cathedral and read the story "A Small, Good Thing." If you don't like that one, I think you can file it away. :))

"Do you agree that you wouldn't expect a wash of Italian in the Arno from a thriller?" Absolutely! Regarding the authors: Lansdale is very accessible, I believe anyone who has read him can confirm that. Carver too. You may not like his writing style, but it's certainly not a challenging read. Saramago, I slipped, and, in fact, it stinks of fig! :)) If you want, I can replace him, let’s say with Palaniuk... And anyway, you’ve won, you bastards: tomorrow I’m going to buy the second book! Then I'll come back and let you know!!! :DD

@Elde: I read absolutely “normal” authors (the first that come to mind: Lansdale, Carver, Saramago...). Also because I’m too ignorant to read the ones you mention. And I’m not joking, unfortunately. Regarding the issue of secondary characters + conventionality of the plot, I’m not the only one who has said this; others have too, including the reviewer. So I guess I’m not the only one who thinks this way. Or, at least, I’m not the only one trying to climb up the mirrors. And if I respond to you, I might end up writing the same post for the sixth time, so please read the previous ones carefully. @Geenoo: in your comment you talked about “misterione,” “solution,” and “veiled indications,” and now the problem is that we’ve described the protagonist too much?! In any case, when and if you decide to review a book too, you’ll realize that it’s quite difficult to do so without “properly outlining the protagonist.” @IlFreddo: I only tried to argue my point. I said what I think and why. In return, I was dismissed with a “childish” and a “fucking alternative.” Or with the same responses over and over. And, in response to the same replies, I received the same posts. That’s all. I promise I won’t repeat myself anymore!! :))

The Da Vinci Code was an excellent beach read: it mixed in a fair amount of "risqué" topics (Church, Masonic lodges, secret conspiracies, apocryphal gospels, and a whole bunch of other nice things), giving the reader the illusion of reading a "cultured" book that talked about art and history while revealing aspects unknown to most, and it had a good pace. Only, it was written in an obscene manner (or translated in an obscene manner, I don't know, since I haven’t read it in English). I hope at least this is peaceful. Here the discussion is partially different. As I've already pointed out, even those who really appreciated this book don’t deny that it's conventional in terms of plot and that there are some flaws in the management of secondary characters. Plus, it's poorly written. Essentially, the whole discussion boils down to: Lisbeth is an incredibly striking character who alone can elevate the work, right?! Answer: she's a “crazy” character... whatever. “Alternative hell”? But Lisbeth herself is a mix of “alternative” stereotypes?! She's a bit dark, has piercings, is anorexic, has a troubled past, and quirky sexual habits. Basically, she's an emo who knows her way around a computer! :DD

Damn it, I think I hadn’t checked the comment notifications... I’ll immediately take care of returning the Pitu-pitù-pah to the lovely Teresa, regretting what happened, and I’ll tell the mess that I enjoyed the record a lot, but mold remains my natural environment!! I’m off! Bye
