It is officially back to school season in Italy! Made noticeable in this University town, by all the new bright shining faces and their crisp clean brand-spankin' new text books. These make me yearn to be back in school. I love learning after all. I miss new textbooks (but not the cost!)
So to fill my desire for books, a new development. I signed up for the discount card at my favorite bookstore in Pisa, la Feltrinelli. This, I believe, makes Italy my official place of residence, if only for a little while. Classics at la Feltrinelli are only 3.50. Therefore, I have read quite a bit, including
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Rip Van Wrinkle by Washington Irving, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte, Paradise Lost, and Paradise Regained by John Milton.
I have also discovered the greatness of Windows 8, with free apps to free books. This has led me to reading for the first time, the series of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. That's right, the first time. The books you read in upper elementary are being read by a University graduate.
Now, I do apologize to all my readers. Lately this blog has not been a travel blog, but a miss home, miss family, miss studying blog. I promise to make it up to all of you!
