A book, too, can be a star.

♠ Ugh, I have a cold. I have been doing so well this winter, even though I have been wearing skirts or dresses every day (lol for some reason I've always felt like I am less likely to get sick if I'm wearing trousers?), and now that spring is only a few weeks away, my nose is congested, my head hurts and I've started coughing. Blergh. I REFUSE to

Yay, I love Italo Calvino, and Invisible Cities is one of my favorite books, too! Although I still haven't read If On a Winter's Night a Traveler....I should do that.

I liked The Crimson Petal and the White, too!

If On a Winter's Night is a very different book than Invisible Cities, but it is brilliant. One of my favourite things about Calvino is that his books are so different from each other.

The Crimson Petal and the White was great!

Italo Calvino! *drools*

I've read If on a winter's night a traveler so many times. I love that book. It is one of my favorite books ever.

I'm so happy you like Calvino!

Yay, I am thrilled that so many people on my flist share my love for Calvino!
I really like all of his books, the novels and short stories as well as the essays.

Yes, she is :)
God I hope I feel better soon too. I've gotten progressively worse all evening, but I'm hoping that I'll feel better tomorrow at least!

Aww looks like we missed each other again :(
I had already gone to bed by the time you left this comment. But at least I am feeling a little bit better today!

PENGUINS ARE JUST TOO PRECIOUS. After watching Frozen Planet I love them more than ever.

Remus and Sirius were one of my first ships as well, and a Remus/Sirius fic, The Shoebox Project, was the first slash fic I ever read!

*hugs back* Thank you! So do I.

OMG THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. I SHALL NOW CANCEL ALL MY PLANS FOR MARCH AND APRIL AND DEVOTE MY LIFE TO WATCHING THE PENGUIN CAM.
(omg I am already feeling 200% better than I did five minutes ago :DDDD)

Hope you'll like it! I think it's beautiful!
