  R.U.R. by Karel Kapek is ranked 7154 th on The Greatest Books of All Time web page, where War With The Newts by the same author is in a much better position at 756 – you have thousands of reviews on magnum opera from The GOAT and other sites on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html and YouTube channel, where you see my macaws   6 out of 10   I have listened to this play before https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/08/rur-by-karel-capek.html and I have not been thrilled, indeed, there are two reasons to hear it again, and write a note: first, George Constantin, a thespian as good as Jack Nicholson or any other, is in it and to enjoy his voice is a treat   Second, we have been under the threat of AI for some time, and this RUR is about robots and what will happen with them, will they have rights, maybe they will rebel, there have been many incidents where A...

  Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is the Fifteenth Greatest Book of All Time, at least if you consult the GOAT site, it is one of The 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read, and yet, not one of my favorites – you find thousands of reviews on magnum opera from the aforementioned and other web pages on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html and YouTube channel, where my macaws are the stars   8 out of 10   This is the third review of Wuthering Heights https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/03/wuthering-heights-by-emily-bronte-is.html the most recent was posted only about one month ago, because Emerald Fennell has adapted this classic and in fact, it had the ‘premiere’ on HBO last night, at least in this realm   On Saturday (May 9, 2026) we had another version aired on TVR Cultural, at least I think it was there, and though not the best – the one with Laurence Olivier...

  Everything That Rises Must Converge is a chef d’oeuvre by Flannery O’Connor, which is ranked 494 th on The Greatest Books of All Time site, and it is part of my Top 100 Favorites – you find thousands of reviews on magnum opera from The GOAT and other web pages on my blog   https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html and YouTube page, the latter has my macaws at the forefront   10 out of 10   Everything That Rises Must Converge https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/08/everything-that-rises-must-converge-by.html is a spectacular collection of short stories that is in the 494 th position on The Greatest Books of All Time site, and one of my Absolute Favorites – this is the second time that I am reading it   In fact, this time it is an audiobook format, so I am listening to the Collection – in the meantime, I have searched for Flannery O’Connor and found that she had...

Malone Dies by Samuel Beckett is included on some of the most prestigious lists, including The Bokklubben World Library Best 100 Books of All Time, Le Monde’s Best 100 Novels, 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read, it is ranked 274 th on the Greatest Books of All Time site, alas, it is not one of my Top 1,000 Favorites, not even if I go up to 5k I am afraid – you find reviews of magnum opera from the aforementioned and other web pages on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html   6 out of 10   I have enjoyed Waiting for Godot https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/04/waiting-for-godot-by-samuel-beckett.html which is 94th on The Greatest Books of All time site, nevertheless, Malone Dies had to be more or less abandoned- this being an audiobook, it went on in my ear, but without much impact, especially in the second part   ‘Isn’t it absurd to try to write a “common sense” no...

  The Seinfeld Scripts by Jerry Seinfeld – that was one of the best comedy series ever, they are still airing on some channels here, and you can probably find them on demand on HBO Max or some other places – by the way, or now for something completely different - there are thousands on notes on films from The New York Times’ Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made and other sites on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html and YouTube channel, where my macaws are outstanding   9 out of 10   I have been watching Seinfeld for a few times, some episodes may have been on Television three times, and although there is something about the actor and creator that is not exactly charming, the show was such a massive success https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-seinfeld-scripts-by-jerry-seinfeld.html   Some things may apply to my present state- we were speaking about the Uncle Leo episode, where he takes a book from the shop ...

  The Military Philosophers by Anthony Powell is the ninth volume of the chef d’oeuvre A Dance To The Music of Time, which is part of a few sections of the crème de la crème, including The All-TIME 100 Best Novels, Modern Library’s Best 100 Novels, The 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read…on the Greatest Books of All Time site it is ranked 342 nd , but key for this place, here, it is one of my Top 25 Favorites – you find reviews on magnum opera from the aforementioned and other web pages on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html and YouTube channel, where my macaws are the main attraction   10 out of 10   A Dance to The Music of Time is a divine, glorious work of art https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/05/the-soldiers-art-is-eighth-volume-of.html the downside here would be that there are only three volumes left, The Military Philosophers is the ninth, however, I will read this a third time   Insha’Allah – there...
