Rust Around Tub Drain

BIBLIOTECOMANIA

is true that love books makes us even collectors. Moreover, a book once read, that is the end? Mica you can remove, would be a crime, at best, but just on the edge and for a very serious reason, you can give, but then it happens that you go to buy back, because, well, a book is also an object to have, to return to consult, to be reinterpreted, but just to look in the library, along with his brothers, perhaps aligned in order, but not necessarily, because a library is beautiful even when it is busy (do not say messy, that means not find anything, while those with a library "move" always know where each book). Quite different from the libraries of fake salons, or in television studios, which are made to look like, nothing else. A bibliophile is a Bibliomania however, because it is so beautiful. It is inconceivable that one says "I read many books but sometimes I clean and eliminate". What to eliminate? Yes, textbooks, yearbooks, directories ... things that become obsolete ... Of course, then there is the problem of space. But for books is always, even if they stay in double or Triple line, you know that there are, where they are, and where appropriate will blow out even the most hidden ...

Pale Tan Before And After

SPARK

And if ideas are not? Drama, frustration, nervousness, blank page syndrome (or blank screen) ... And I do not think there is a secure system to facilitate the birth of the idea. Inspiration maybe it's just an urban legend, because in any case, if there is something so evanescent that if you can not stop it immediately evaporates. We must capture the idea, began to dress in mind, a piece at a time but continuously, because if you neglect us goodbye and go ... Then, maybe even start inking something, make history around the idea. Only when you have enough light, you can start working seriously. And even this is not true, because writing can also change direction and do not know where it will come: perhaps where you would get anyway, but following a path that we had not imagined. And that's the beauty of writing, let go of what is, so following a common thread (you still know what you want to say), but leaving a small opening for the spark of the unexpected. For this reason I do not think there is a better method than another. Every writer certainly has its rituals, its methods. The mythical apple of Agatha Christie in the bathtub, or the pipes already loaded with Simenon, aligned on the table for him not to interrupt the thread. Some people write better at night, who writes by hand, who said ... But the cure is independent from this idea, which ultimately belongs only dell'aneddotica more or less true of a character. The only true thing is that when ideas are not, then maybe you should stop, think of something else and wait ...

What has happened? BETWEEN THE LINES

Once, when a public figure for a time disappeared from television, after a bit 'all begin to wonder, "What happened to Tom," because you know, it was true then and even more now, if one does not appear on TV as well not exist, maybe it has a very active and happy life elsewhere, but the audience is gone. Yeah, because it is the TV to decide rhythms and destinies, if something does not tell the TV does not exist, and since it was not there but because the TV said. But there was also people who at one point could do without it, and decided to exist without media exposure. Once there were programs that periodically bothered to go and investigate what had happened to this or that character. It was not yet "Who has seen" , because we deal with people who still knew where it was, only investigations were designed to reassure viewers that their pets were a good time and maybe prepare a return the limelight. Now those programs are no longer needed. Now the question is no longer anxious about the fate of Tom or Dick. Now the characters in question are careful to stay out of ... cameras, but they do the shuttle and relay between a program and another. They are always there. And if for some a 'you do not see (not by choice), as long as it fits in any reality and the problem is solved. It was better to continue to wonder what had happened ...

Why Do People Like Belly Punch



"In the books, the poets, looking for you." is a phrase of a song by Gucci ( " Another day has gone " ), and summarizes the basic attitude of those who approaches to reading. Try reading it ourselves, we seek confirmation of what we think and do, what we are. We are looking for justification for what we are and we do not, sometimes an excuse for not doing and not to be. In the books we look for a smile, a coincidence, the explanation for what happens to us daily and we think that only happens to us, or even try what happens to anyone but us, and we study the behavior of the characters trying to adapt ourselves to see if anything we can apply to our lives. We make our own the words and feelings, perhaps because we happen to experience them in reality, or because they secretly preparing to face and there seems to be able be good solutions for us, in the event. And then we close the book, we go out, we resume our lives mulling the pages we read, still hot, e. .. another day is gone, waiting for the next reading ...

Commercial For Rotel Velveeta And Chicken

LI TRIVIA

I came across a comic book written by Fred Vargas, unpublished in Italy. It is a story that features the Commissioner Adamsberg, like most of the yellows of the same author, but not a cartoon based on a novel, was born just like comics. is titled "Les quatre fleuves" , and drawings by Edmond Baudoin. Interesting layout, not just comic-book classic, though with a lot of text. The strangest thing was to finally give a face to Adamsberg, which until now was, for me, only task of the imagination. I can not say as I imagined, certainly not as it is drawn, but I will not even say it was a disappointment. Moreover it always happens that way. You read serial novels focus on a character that the head of each assumes a different appearance for each. Or, in the case of texts transposed in the film and, inevitably you imagine the character with the face of the actor. Far as to say that if not Maigret has the face of Gino Cervi not Maigret ... Among other things, is unthinkable, since they have designed together, the same Vargas gave precise instructions to the designer on the features to be given to the commissioner ... If anything, I do not like what was represented as is his deputy, Lieutenant Danglard. But anyhow ... It's the usual dilemma of when a book becomes a movie, this time delivered in a comic ...

you have read all?

The typical question of who get into a house where there are books in a quantity that clearly seems exorbitant to visitors (and many fear for this to be around ten, excluding the lists of the phone), it is invariably " ... How many books did you read all? . Would be a spontaneous response to Pepe Carvalho, ( No, I use them to light the fireplace "), except that there is a risk of being believed. What kind of question is that? Evidently, the daughter of a subculture in which the book is considered a decorative object, selected by size and height, the color of the cover that makes pendant with good upholstery of the sofa, or fill bookstores fake in front of which to be photographed interview or, if you're famous ... Questions for people who do not know what it is really a book. Of course, I do not I read all the books I have. But some are there, waiting to be their moment, and meanwhile we are. Others may have been purchased in periods of interest in a subject which then came less, and were only browsed, but they are there too ... And then there are books that should not be read but to be seen, should be consulted, to be popular even without ever reading them entirely. It should not be less than the others, for sure. I think the best answer to this question has given the irritating Hugo Pratt, who in his last house in Switzerland, had thousands and thousands of volumes. " has read them all? " "No. But I've paths all." And this is perhaps the best compliment for a book ...

a joke

But then what a joke? For a writer is the daily bread, even if not so much as a writer, I would say, for a writer. In a novel, the joke, fast, crisp, even sharp, is not as essential as, for example, in a play or film, or in a balloon. I would say that there is indispensable, but this is also the tragedy of the measure. In that sense the danger in a context outside of which it becomes incomprehensible. Unless you are a genius, and "universal" in the sense that life has its own in any situation is repeated. This is the case of many jokes in films, for example, that simply repeat that they may have happened, but who have force only if they report directly to the scene to which they relate. Laughter citing Sordi says "Workers tie ..." , but if one does not know the scene in the movie (any?) May not understand. Now, even the impromptu joke, one that began for a speech, the same fate. The joke must be fast. The moment that comes to mind is already old, because in the meantime the discussion that generated it has taken other directions. Should be simultaneous with, get them to stop their context, fitting exactly where it was designed. A tremendous difficulties. If you arrive late even a few seconds to realize it necessary to repeat the situation, telling the context, prepare it again. Bankruptcy then the joke that needs to be explained. Sure, it can also be guilty of the listener, but also good joke should be transposed from the latter on the uptake ... Then one must also stop making people laugh, but he must do so "even", not "just". In fact, if this is satire, laughter should be tight-lipped ... It should make us think, but unfortunately this is another activity widely practiced ... Well, come to think of a joke is a serious matter ...
