Italian, which is such a beautiful language completely consumed my life for a year and then more. Everything I did and do revolve around it. My love and… — read more

The original plan was to finish it last month but then, yes, it’s a big book.If you like the stories of lords and ladies, kingdoms fighting and ruling—this may just be your cup of tea (or coffee,… — read more

Quotes
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one… — read more
