"As Earth’s ever-decreasing non-renewable resources diminish, we must alter our consumption patterns or we will all end up with nothing. This book shows us where we are currently standing and the unfortunate reality we don’t want to face. Reading this book will make you not only face the horrors of reality but will make you feel that you want to work to make a good future."

"Existential angst, black-and-white landscapes that feel cut out of slate and bone, quivering ruminations on mortality, and symbolic self-reflexive experimentation in film form-that’s all very masterful and inspiring and well and good, but I didn’t fall in love with Bergman until I discovered (via this box set) Fanny and Alexander. A rich adult fairy tale about how we use storytelling in our lives, not for pleasure alone."

"I put this on the list because I remember listening to it and thinking that there wasn’t anything that sounded as vital. There’s a see-saw of performance and song and this was all performance and you can feel the excitement on this recording. It’s an unusually good live number. Also Wayne Kramer from the band follows me on the Twitter machine, so in internet terms he’s my friend."
