Yesterday we found Cristina, Rosa and me. I'm sorry for those who could not come ....
Cristina spoke very positively of "conspired" by Robert Harris, a historical novel based on authentic documents, al'epoca Cicero. Presents extraordinary analogies with what is sucedendo today with the policy corrupt, like luxury homes sold off a little, and so on.
Enzo Russo, "Nothing to die for", the author is one of the great experts in the history of the Mafia.
Rosa finished "War and Peace" and we strongly recommend it, although it must be read with all quiet and peace of mind without being intimidated by the size.
Di Marco Vichi "Death in Florence", set in the days of the flood in Florence. Personally, by the same author, I recommend "The first inquiry of the Commissioner Brothels." Other
reading "The Northern Kingdom" of Henry Petacchi on the theme of the Risorgimento, tells the true story, so to speak, other than the hackneyed that we were fed in school. Strongly recommended! Not recommended
"Let the party begin" by Nicholas Ammann.
Personally, besides the adorable yellow Elisabeth George, set in classical and modern London, I read about Jonthan Coe "The terrible secret of Maxwell Sim", the story of a man plagued by loneliness, misunderstanding, timidity, looking for a breakthrough in life, with a surprise ending unlikely, as sometimes happens in Coe .. Not bad, but not up to the mile Coe.
So expect comments and news, not strictly literary!
Next meeting Thursday, September 16. Hello, Happy holidays to all s Gloria
