The Late George Apley Did not really enjoy it, but it is my fault

  The Late George Apley Did not really enjoy it, but it is my fault You can bet this book is really good. But then I missed on all that…not totally, but most of it. Having said that, a spoiler is in order for I am just thinking about this book here and what it meant to me. But the lines that will be posted here do not have much, if anything to do with The Late George Apley. I went to about 54% and gave up, not on account of any failure of the book, writing this seems preposterous- -            Look at me as I give verdicts on books that are established classics… It is not a question of quality, like in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance- quality is a complicated concept, which can sometimes be simplified and taken to mean some kind of Zen or the Way, Dao. These notes express only an Impression, a subjective opinion referring to the temperature outside, the stress of the coming autumn and more… It just happens that one book wh...

La Resurrection de Mozart by Nina Berberova

  La Resurrection de Mozart by Nina Berberova   I have read this tiny book in about 30 minutes, this morning, in the…sauna. Almost every week day, I spend about one hour at about 70 degrees Celsius. I take breaks, but while in the sauna, I take a book with me Since this book is only 64 small pages long, it tempted me to use it in the blistering heat. The idea is interesting: a few people talk about resurrecting the dead…each has a suggestion: one wants to see Napoleon alive again, another is keen on Tolstoy- who had said that there would be no more wars-well, two world wars contradict that. Maria wants to see, or perhaps better said hear Mozart alive again. And in the French countryside, affected by war in 1949, a man comes to visit her.   He is a strange apparition, and the title (if little else) suggests that this is Mozart. It kept me going, albeit for a short time, but under unusual circumstances…   It made me want to read other books by Nina Berberova .   F...

Cop Land written and directed by James Mangold is not one of The New York Times’ Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made, yet it is good enough, notwithstanding the presence of Silver Stallone in a leading role, indeed, it is the only performance of his that I agree with – you have thousands of notes on films from The NYT 1,000 and other sites on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html
