László Lukács
- singer, lyricist, guitarist, frontman of Tank Trap
I begin by saying that when I was a child, although I loved to read,
I also hated the required reading term that I knew, no one would tell me what to do and then I would decide on a basis. I think this is a completely normal reaction on the part of a passionate teenager, so the following five books are only a recommendation and not a must, all the more so because at least five more books with a similar theme or mood could be recommended.
Duff McKagan – It’s so easy (… and other lies)
The bassist for the main Guns’ N Roses band (still active to this day) noted in a biography book one of, if not the best, in this genre. Describe it in a concise but easy-to-read way, exploring the path to becoming a star and the bright and deeply dark sides of life from the spotlight, along with all its excitement and every hellish moment. You can also give a lot or give lessons to those who have never caught a single guitar sound in their life, because it’s not about making music, it’s more about life.
Richard Bach – Jonathan Livingston, the Seagull
If there is such a thing as “entertaining esoteric fiction,” then R. Bach is one of the best at it. The Seagull is a slim little book of only a few dozen pages, this is the category of entry into this world. It also ends quickly, but the point is in it and I am convinced that whoever not only goes superficially, but actually reads it, will look at the world and at himself with another eye. In addition, the first Hungarian edition also contains the original version with English text, so it is not the last for language learning and practice.
George Lucas – Star Wars
Star Wars has recorded so much in everyday life and so-called pop culture over the last few decades, so many times so many places refer or suggest that this basic story is worth knowing, even if you are not very interested in Dart bucket or Lüke Spider. It is an entertaining “space tale”, which, in addition, lacks quite a few sentences of universal truth.
Aldous Huxley – Good New World
The writer’s dystopia, published in 1932 (!) In an imagined future, in the XXVI. It takes place in the 20th century, but whoever is neither deaf nor blind sees and hears many (or rather, too many) parallels with the events of our present time. In an ironic but thought-provoking way, it describes every detail of a society made up of an elite led by a few elites, stunned, manipulated by the media, genes and legal drugs, masses of finished people. Writing at the same time, smiling and at the same time disturbing, terrifying.
Finally, a non-existent book:
“Signs of the 20th century on the walls”: a selection of Hungarian underground pop-rock lyrics from the last decades
Along with the fact that all my respect belongs to the classics of Hungarian literature, there is a great lack of anthology in the palette. A selection that is much closer to the boys of today in terms of age, worldview, use of words and text, that is, ultimately, intelligibility, than the “old greats”.
Valuable thoughts and feelings (about love, step, joy – sadness, life – death, struggle, victory and fall, God – man, etc.) could be expressed not only long ago time and not only by the ‘great sages’ on a literary level, but by many of our contemporaries is. If I edit one, András Lovasi, Ákos, Tibi Kiss, Tamás Pajor, Péter Müller Sziámi or Jenő Menyhárt would like to include Endre Paksi, Hobó, Kara Misi, Nagy, without claiming that it is complete. Feró and Attila Horváth, as Akkezdet Phiai, Sub Bass Szabi or Kowalsky would like here, and I could list …
