Here's a list of media, places and books that have marked the year 2008.
Best Album:
Boris "Smile " : a group of young Japanese who play heavy rock and precise, melodic and savage. Production shifted slightly surprises by its choice (alternation of fast and slow songs, long and short, sharp songs at the end). To elect this record, I am based on the pleasure to come back constantly, burn it to others, etc..
The best book:
Tied Richard Yates " Revolutionary Road " (Panoramic View in French) and Patrick Hamilton " Hangover Square ".

The best place:

The best conference
Philippe Meirieu . Opening the aggregation This new year (2008-2009). The man we spoke without notes for nearly a pedagogy of freedom. A path consistent and relevant by an orator of talent.
The best change:
Become everyday cyclist. One small step for the land but a big step for my lifestyle. I feel good bike. Free ...
The best expo / visit:
The Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern (Switzerland). Without doubt one of the finest museums in the world. Why? Renzo Piano's building is magnificent: a wave that enters the earth. The Museum is not too big. The temporary exhibitions (not as the Museum's permanent collection has works too) are made wise choices. Do not miss ...
