The subtitle of this book is "the place of thought." Refers to mixture of lives, stories, characters and images meet in a bar , the ultimate arena for the exchange of "chat". Indeed, in the past, place of literary and political revolutions , as indicated by a bit 'pompous Andrea Caponnetto initial premise in the book.
certainly was not the will of the frequenters of this virtual coffee to create a new literary movement or start a new social consciousness. The idea behind this anthology was to collect those thoughts of different customers, retain their voices, usually lost in the ether some social network, make sure that they would find space on a physical medium. I wonder how difficult has been the company to coordinate this shouting (and how much passion we both wanted to do it).
Because the resulting feeling after reading Facebook coffee is what we have - to stay in theme - after drinking a burnt coffee, which leaves a bitter taste and slightly sickening. The bustle content in this bar is unnecessary and futile. Overlap forced and fake scandals, heavy and empty lyrics, some false smut mixed with random trivia disruptive.
reusing the same speed of the instruments from which the authors, here are 65 well disposable tales, to read as you read the Home of facebook: lazy, listlessly, as a waste time. Switch from one story to another with a click, and often within the same story with a double click, in a crowded feelings and reactions can not As tiring. There are a few exceptions, very few beads, but not enough to make you pass the desire to press ESC at any time. Rather than place of thoughts, I would have said instead of the vents.
Why only truth that I can share with the book, publishing it on your blog page, is the undeniable existence of our society need to talk, express themselves and communicate. But while the coffee Enlightenment reflected thoughts and movements, there is a one-way communication, empty, imitative, a mere echo, that Stone and the stove. Which, of course, also applies to the post just published.
