L'inverno dell'alveare

Un racconto molto carino, con immagini originali e delicate. Solo l'inizio è un po' sdolcinato, ma poi si riprende e rimane in quota fino alla fine.
Insegna cose belle: la curiosità, il coraggio, l'umiltà, l'amicizia.

How can you rate a book you just wished it never ended?
I fell in love with Guernsey and want to go there as soon as I can! If only I could meet Juliet and everybody!

One for the Books

“The average American reads four books a year, and the average American finds this more that sufficient.”
These are the first words of the book “One for the books”, by Joe Queenan.
The thought of anyone thinking that reading just four books a year is sufficient horrifies any Reader-with-capital-R.

“The average American reads four books a year, and the average American finds this more that sufficient.”
These are the first words of the book “One for the books”, by Joe Queenan.
The thought of anyone thinking that reading just four books a year is sufficient horrifies any Reader-with-capital-R.
Joe Queenan is such a Reader: he reads always, there are books in every single room of his house, starts reading any book that seems promising and has read many which did not (and were not).
He speaks to any other Reader, sure to be fully understood in his passion and compulsion towards books.
Funny, witty and only sometimes a bit ostentatious.
Thanks to Penguin Book (USA) and Netgalley for providing a copy of the book.

“L’americano medio legge quattro libri l’anno, e l’americano medio ritiene che questo sia sufficiente.”
Questo è l’incipit del libro “One for the books”, di Joe Queenan.
Il pensiero che chiunque possa pensare che quattro libri l’anno siano sufficienti farebbe inorridire qualunque Lettore con la ‘elle’ maiuscola.
Joe Queenan è uno di loro: legge sempre, tiene libri in ogni stanza della casa, comincia a leggere qualsiasi libro che gli sembri interessante e ne ha anche letti molti che non lo erano.
Parla a tutti i Lettori come lui, con la certezza di essere capito appieno nella sua passione e compulsione nei confronti dei libri.
Divertente, arguto e solo a tratti un po’ pretenzioso.
Grazie a Penguin Book (USA) e a Netgalley per avermi concesso una copia in lettura.
