Why you should read classic books and some suggestions.

Classic books are one of the most difficult category of books that you can read.
They are called ''havy'' in the italian language because sometimes they have some difficulto words or too old expression that you have to search because the most of the time you don't know the meaning.
They are hard and sometime quite boring but they need to be like this.
If you consider two books, a contemporary books, let's take for example Jamie McGuire's ''Beautiful disaster'' and George Orwell's 1984, we have a kind of love story in both of the books, however, the concept that Jamie tells in her beautiful thing are totally wrong, they teach to young girls that your boyfriend should be aggressive, way too jalous als if the main characters of the story are not even in a relationship, I hope that who read that book could relate to me, so it is full of wrong concepts that teach just wrong things.
We have 1984 that is a classic, there is some sort of love story between Winston and Julie but it's not a tossic one, it does not teach to young people bad stuff, it teaches things that can happen in the future and happened in the past.
If you want me to talk about a beautiful disaster leave me a comment.

You know.
With classic books you learn.
You expand your mind.
You feel the same things with contemporary books just when they are written soo good, when everything that is happening in that pages is described fully, and it's not just a bunch of events written on a pice of peaper and probably you are not even understanding anything.
So that's why you should give a possibility to classic books.

Now I am going to suggest some easy ones that anyone can start from:

  • The call of the wild by Jack London, the story is good and the writing is easy
  • A tale of two citys by Charles Dikens, same as before
  • Animal Farm by George Orwell, you will understand something more about politycs.
And if you want something a little bit difficult I suggest:
  • 1984 by George Orwell
  • The picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
  • Frankentein by Mary Shelley 
This are the reasons why I suggest to give a possibility to classic books, they are worth it, you will learn something and you will encrease your culture.

La pioggia nel pineto, D'annunzio, La domenica del Classico.

Oggi, un po' per la domenica del classico un po' perché sono ispirata volevo proporvi la mia poesia preferita. Come potrete vedere dal blog io leggo solo testi in prosa, non sono una grande fan della retorica, ma la pioggia nel pineto è qualcosa di bellissimo, è la poesia migliore che io abbia mai letto. Tutto di questa lirica è perfetto, i suoni, le parole usate, TUTTO ragazzi, tutto. Quindi oggi vi propongo il testo integrale per chiunque non abbia mai letto tale meraviglia e proverò a spiegarvi un po' di cosa si parla.  Taci. Su le soglie                   del bosco non odo parole che dici umane; ma odo parole più nuove che parlano gocciole e foglie lontane. Ascolta. Piove dalle nuvole sparse. Piove su le tamerici salmastre ed arse, piove su i pini scagliosi ed irti, piove su i mirti divini, su le ginestre fulgenti di fiori accolti, su i ginepri folti di coccole aulenti, piove su i nostri volti silv...

Why you should read the ''Shatter me'' series right now.

I've read many reviews about the Shatter me series.  And I have this bad habit of buying things and then reading reviews, when I watched some YouTube videos of people talking about this series I was kind of regretting the choice of buying it without knowing anything about it. The book got here, I got an edition with three books in one, and I started it looking for a reason to hate it But at the end I started it with no particular expectation. I started the first book, I wasn't loving it but I was still interested in the story. For those of you who may not know, the shatter me series follows the story of Juliette, a girl who's touch is deadly, she can kill people just touching them. She has been considered a monster by everybody and no one actually ever loved her, until she knows a guy that looks like he's immune to her touch. There is some kind of love triangle at the beginning, there is some insta love, but trust me, just go on with the series, i...

Restore me - book review - NON spoiler review and discussion

I know I have to stop prewriting articles because I always end up changing my mind.  So, I finished the Shatter me series (non spoiler review  here ) or at least I finished the first three books of the series thinking that they were the only ones. I thought, maybe I just need to read the novellas to know what's going to happen next. Then I found out that there are other books to the series, Restore me and Defy me. I've written a TBR and a wrap up already because I didn't think I was going to read Restore me now, my plans changed so I'll be deleting that post because I'll probably be finished with Defy me by tomorrow and it's technically still october.  The last two books are not available in italian so I had to directly order them from the U.K to Italy 'cause my stupid brain couldn't think of Amazon at that moment.  It said that I would have received the books by the 12th of November, I just couldn't wait that much, I saw that the ebooks...
