Ah, I was so tempted to buy an Italia...Thank you :)<br />Ah, I was so tempted to buy an Italian edition in Grado, but it cost 30€ and I wouldn't have understood a word, so I gave in to reason. But I officially resolve to study more for my Italian class from now on!Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672158633910811092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-51880171697282581202012-05-20T21:49:55.525+02:002012-05-20T21:49:55.525+02:00How amazing! I hope you enjoyed it! This is really...How amazing! I hope you enjoyed it! This is really special, I think we haven't had a solar eclipse in years.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, Dante finally found his fame, he is Italy's superstar: there are no less than a Piazza Dante Alighieri, a Via Dante Alighieri and a Viale Dante in Grado! :)Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672158633910811092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-90515745021572547562012-05-19T01:20:54.551+02:002012-05-19T01:20:54.551+02:00How fun, I hope you're having a wonderful time...How fun, I hope you're having a wonderful time! I had the same response regarding Italian when reading Dante. (And my copy has Italian on one page and an English translation opposite, so I was extra-inspired.) I haven't read <em>A Room with a View</em>, but I did read several books set in Italy when I was there and shortly thereafter. Enjoy!amanda @ simplerpastimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127945915013121105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111030953079733786.post-49733933034549513232012-05-17T16:38:24.144+02:002012-05-17T16:38:24.144+02:00Ooh, lucky you! Have a great time.
I do enjoy Fo...Ooh, lucky you! Have a great time.<br /><br />I do enjoy Forster's books and Room With A View is my favorite. I have read Dante but only once and probably not with much comprehension! It's times like that I wish I understood more languages--to read Dante in the original would be amazing. I did enjoy it though--as a librarian I like a nice orderly tour of the universe. ;)<br /><br />I am looking forward to an amazing weekend, because there is a solar eclipse! It would be a total eclipse if the moon didn't happen to be at its farthest point, so there will be a thin ring of sun around the edge. We are having an eclipse party at the park, with special sunglasses for everyone.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.com
