Wag the Dog written by Larry Beinhart, David Mamet, a motion picture that seems to have changed, it is now on the news, what with the ‘special operation’, the name given by the tyrant in the Kremlin to his war in Ukraine, or the war in Iran, which was won on day one, according to another lunatic, the self-proclaimed ‘greatest president of the US’; you have thousands of notes on films from The New York Times’ Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made and other lists on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/08/do-you-have-any-suggestions-how-to-make.html and YouTube channel

Hideous Kinky by Esther Freud is one of The 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read, except it is only 2969th on The Greatest Books of All Time, but what matters most in this corner, it is still one of my Top 200 Favorites, after a second reading; you have thousands of reviews of magnum opera from the aforementioned and other lists on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/08/do-you-have-any-suggestions-how-to-make.html

Melania si Ceilalti or Melania and The Others by Alex Stefanescu – a book that does not exist on The Greatest Books of All Time site…I have developed a habit of searching for what I read on the GOAT, sometimes the results are appalling because a great work is at the bottom, or worse, and then there are amusing surprises…for more reviews, you could visit my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/08/do-you-have-any-suggestions-how-to-make.html and/or YouTube channel

Changing Places by David Lodge is one of The 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read, but just 1716th on The Greatest books of All Time site, it has just fallen out of my Top 200 Favorite Books, perhaps by the end of this note I will know where to place it; you have six reviews of oeuvres by David Lodge and hundreds of others on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/08/do-you-have-any-suggestions-how-to-make.html

Is This Anything by Jerry Seinfeld shows up when you search for it on The Greatest Books of All Time site, although without any ranking, not even 17003rd, which is where I found Student Dima, a work that is already reviewed on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/08/do-you-have-any-suggestions-how-to-make.html ‘Pretentious, moi?’ seems to me to define Seinfeld
