We reviewed the year 2008 has been a roller coaster. Today we have to look back and see that we have done for the last 365days cultured.
Moving Parts: I've seen 2 movies in the cinema. This, for many it seems very few for me is to be twice normal, and is 'm not going to the movies, no. The two lucky titles are "Into the Wild (Into the Wild)" and "Quantum of Solace." Very good and very nice the first, the second quite entertaining. Into the wild is probably the best movie I've seen in years, but in my case that's not saying much.
Musically, it's not like there's been a year of listening too much. I've turned down disks after two years or so without doing it and I also thank Victor to let me spoil his huge mp3 file. Through this I discovered the German Die Ärtzte.
However, I should mention that probably had never been to so many concerts like this year. I've seen directly to Earth Vertical, Franz Ferdinand, Bob Dylan, Lenny Kravitz, Commando Cucaracha, La Fuga, Extremoduro, The Slackers and Tako.
By staying with a song: "Viva La Vida by Coldplay"
Finally, let's talk about books a lot, very good and varied.
Three books by Carl Sagan, "Contact", "Cosmos" and "Pale blue dot, very interesting the last two and a good novel with a lot more crumb looks like the first.
"A short story of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, a great gift for my sister that is what its title suggests, a short history of nearly everything.
"The Grapes of Wrath" John Steinbeck's story about the tragedy of the Okies who migrated to California in the 30's. (And seeing little we have changed how we treat immigrants who come to work in the fields)
"The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, or portray the utter desolation. A book that should be compulsory reading for anyone who has access to or work on massive armament industries.
"Weird weird facts about canadian sports" you had to spend the loose that was left in the Montreal airport shops. An entertaining book
"A day of Cholera" fictionalized on May 2. I think it gets a little heavy.
"A most wanted man" John LeCarre doing what he knows. I liked a tad more when writing about spies of the Cold War but still recommended the book is hyper (jua jua jua that pique does my father, who also loves LeCarre there has not yet left the English, and I already have read)
"The Hitchhiker's Guide "and" The Restaurant at the End of the World "by Douglas Adams: Science Fiction absurd and hilarious. Better the first to the second
"Big Sur" by Jack Kerouac: harrowing description of the effects that alcoholism has on the brain. How many teenagers today should read it.
"Walking" by Henry Thoreau. Cortito allegation of a lifestyle more connected to nature.
"Travels in Alaska "by John Muir. Stories of travel in the late nineteenth century naturalist John Muir with the Indians and Alaska.
" Fermat's Enigma ", already mentioned here
Well, I hope that 2009 is also helpful in reading and music. And a little film to be seen, even for that one sees a bit of culture.
