I never liked things most of the people like. Say for
instance, there's that super awesome movie coming on the screens next month,
and that's it- people are getting crazy and obsessed with reading books
(reading is always good intention, but reading everything they offer you to
read, these junk readings... I don't even know which one is worst for the
brain), waiting for first releases, watching exciting trailers...
It is not the cinema thing... Now I am thinking why am
I so skeptical about cinema art itself? Vladimir Il'ich Lenin was saying that
'cinema is the art for masses'. Couldn't agree more.
So it is not the movie thing, it is 'people
intellectually eating everything they offer today' thing. I was always
wondering, what do people find in all these super 'thougtful' quotes from Paolo
Cohelio (not sure if I wrote the name correctly, but I don't think what he is
doing is worth my time on googling his name), Garcia Markez, Dan Browns, if we
talk about russians, Daria Doncovas, Boris Akunin and many many others...
Actually ,Akunin is quite readible cause of the language he was trying to copy
from old- old- ooold Russian classics.
Cohelio must be responsible for what he is doing with
minds of nowaday's femine readers :) Quoting this stupidness must be prosecuted
by the law. I mean seriously, this is way too much, how come someone says
obvious, silly things, and others start quoting him, as if THIS is the truth in
its last instance :)))
Junk reading is something you read lying on the beach,
and the next very day you forget it, it shouldn't be memorized, and ...dear
Lord, it shouldn't be spread across people!!!!
Ok so... what I wanted to say is that I've read one of
the books that ,I think, will be one of the bestselling books this year. Oh
well, yes, I've became a victim of marketing and advertising. During my Italian
vacation, in Milano, I've seen the tram with adv of Dan Brown's book on it,
which is called Inferno. To tell you the truth, it is such a thoughtful
marketing trick :) Cause first thing that comes into your mind is Dante
Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy'. And then I went to local Feltrinelly and
bought the book. Very easily readable, easy forgettable junk reading, and
leaving taste of little disappointment after you're done, cause book didn't
overcome your expectations... I never read non of his books, I figured he wrote
about 10 or even more, and that each single book is like bestseller or
something like that... So that was my first ever Dan Brown experience.
What I liked about it -is Florence, of course. By all
means, I totally share author's love towards this absolutely astonishingly
beautiful citta. Hall of five hundred, Ponte Vecchio, towers, Art galleries,
super unrealistic adventures in this marvelous city. All of the memories, good
ones, were taken on the surface from the deep down inside of my memory storage
:) Then there was a little bit of Venice and Istanbul, but they were mentioned
so very briefly, so you don't even have time to remember what was Robert
Langdon doing there :)
This book is such a speculation, it is that particular
book's second name actually 'SPECULATION on readers' feelings' :)
What I wanted to say is that... don't read everything,
be picky, don't watch everything they show you, be picky, listen to something
that is really beautiful, not just popular, otherwise you might end up by being
just another brick of this huge and unending wall of global informational
consumerism.
ps: Gianny Radari was writing for children by the way, not for super mature adults...
