"What is the best xxx of the year?" is a question that I do not like: first because I do not choose what to read \\ watch in the year of release: I prefer to fish at random. This year, for example, I read very few novels published in 2010.
Second, because, in general, the results of these "polls" tend to be much more uniform.
prefer to put it down in these terms: what was your best read of the year? Here, so can you also tell me, I know, Canticle of the Creatures, and that's great!
For me 2010 was a successful year in literature, much more stingy in that film. Well, I've read wonderful novels, but I have seen very few really good films.
Books? Here's my aces:
- Mice and Men
- The Girl Next Door
- Cathedral (yes, the extended rat-ignition is always on site)
- Neuromancer
As you can see, only Ketchum's novel (written in 1989) was published in Italy in 2010.
The average level of the finalists is frighteningly high and the choice is not easy, but seen to be done, I bow at the feet of the Scriptures and the decree Cathedral best book I read in 2010.
Let the cinema here the situation is even more complicated, or because the number of films I've seen this year is much lower than in 2009, either because the average quality of works in which I stumbled upon is very low, add some unexpected disappointment ... few things well, but something good you still can not get him out. Another nice Pokerino (bet that I have lost someone in the street?):
- Inception
- Dead Man's Shoes
- Fantastic Mr. Fox
- Van Diemen's Land ( here review of Helvetius )
Prize Shane Meadows , which also gave me the best TV series of the year : gold medal therefore Dead Man's Shoes.
And finally the good intentions for the year come. As you can see, consistency is not really my forte: I prefer not to show off who knows if I'll keep that promise. On the other hand, making public some small goal might encourage them to update their pages more frequently Tana. Let's do this: in this case I put down a good poker, a poker of Rats. Here is my 4 resolutions for 2011:
- First I want to take care of most of Italian fiction. In fact, let's say I want to take care of Italian fiction. I've never been a big reader of novels our own. The literature that has always fascinated me most is the American. But recently I read kind words about some newcomers to our house I believe it is the responsibility of the network to give voice to those who are crushed by the business logic and marketing effort to have no space anywhere else? Ok, maybe some kind of feel sorry for the Italian scene, it's all a magna magna, etc.. I do not care: I want to take care of novels, the rest is crap.
- Secondly, I read all the prose work of Carver. And do not think I need to justify this choice.
- There are three empty shelves in my library (figuratively eh, Tana has no place in it for a 100pagine1000lire) that I plan to fill, even in part: Fritz Leiber, who have not you go to bed mad and furious receiving threats; David Foster Wallace, who abo gave me a head so, and William Faulkner, frightening abyss of ignorance staff.
- last but not least, I wish that 2011 was the year of the final passing of the digital paper. A little 'because, as I wrote above, if I continue to buy mallopponi 800 pages in a little' I have to evict the dog a bit 'because I believe that the eBook surclassi the paper almost across the board.
I will endeavor to keep their commitments, as always, you are allowed to crucify me in the lunchroom where you will find that laziness has taken once again over.
