Michele’s Freeminding

Again, it’s that time of the year in which a good fad-follower blogger have to post a list summarizing the best in the past year.

So here’s my list.

Best Movies

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see 2 or 3 movies that would have probably made it into the list. The problem is lately good not-too-commercial movies remain in theaters for one week-end only: what a shame!

1. Memoirs of a Geisha
2. Cinderella Man
3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
4. Oliver Twist
5. The Tiger and the Snow

Best Books

I guess I haven’t read any 2005’s books, so I’ll consider every book I read in the past 12 months.

1. Letters Against the War by Tiziano Terzani
2. The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto Guevara
3. Patagonia Express by Luis Sepulveda
4. A Buddhist Catechism by Subhadra Bhikshu
5. Artificial Paradises by Charles Baudelaire

Best Albums

1. Descended Like Vultures by Rogue Wave
2. X&Y by Coldplay
3. Guero by Beck
4. Live at the House of Tribes by Wynton Marsalis
5. A Bigger Bang by The Rolling Stones
