the saddest moment was when i saw that he has already been invited to the white house on thursday.

hey guy, you're the best and these posts of yours have been really great. how great you ask? well, your corner is the only place on the internet where it seems like it's possible for people to speak about politics in a normal way. i think what you have achieved here is really something. no sarcasm, you should be…

sincerest welcomes!

hey! give haneke another chance. the rewards are there. i understand the cold feeling, but i think that you would really like "the piano teacher". "amour" is the film with the best title ever, code unknown was part of my introduction to the avclub (thank you scott tobias) and funny games is just the greatest thriller…

There's a book called HHhH written by a French guy called Laurent Binet and it's brilliant.

you don't need the "of" after "miriad", which should be "myriad"

i sparked up a joint when david bowie started to play life on mars when i saw him in dublin years ago, gave it to a guy beside me who was super happy, when he passed it on to the next person, he took out a bit of coke, cut a nice quick line and gave it to me!

thank you!

dear avclubbers,
long time lurker, rare poster, but so many thanks to the people who have recommended the autobiography of malcolm x. one of the most important books of the 20th century in my opinion. also to the people who have said the the haunting on hill house is good, you are right, it's wonderful. and the people…

ok then.
thank you very much for introducing me to a cool new thing! no sarcasm intended, new information is always welcome!

put london fields on your list of amis next. it might not have the laugh out loud moments that money has, but it is a much more touching book. he is a much more sensitive and sentimental writer that one imagines he is just by hearing about him in newspapers. you have a great literary ride ahead of you!

what did you think of the information? that was my introduction to martin amis and i've never looked back.

thanks, i am hoping to read "in defense of lost causes" as soon as i can find it for a reasonable price. why do you say he is a dangerous thinker, and wouldn't recommend him?

which ones?

is the names any good? i read white noise which i liked and mao 2 which i completely forget and that's fine.

xavier dolan was my big find this year in terms of cinema. saw tom à la ferme in the cinema, then saw laurence anyways and j'ai tué ma mère. all wonderful. plus french from quebec is super funny/cool.

totally. i would say that 80% of the books i've read in the last year have come from this column. good job, avclub commentors!

if you're travelling, then read the idiot by dostoevsky. crime and punishment is probably the most accessible of his books, quickest in terms of plot anyway. if you're in the mood for something that is mainly political and philosophical, go with demons, it has his best character too, this dude called kirilov, the…

that's a great story! did that happen back in the summer of pan?
