One of my post has just been linked to a list… sure like to have your opinion on it.

I am a very proud Auntie!

That’s very cool. And I really like Eco’s ideas on lists — my TBR list is much more meaningful and significant than I ever thought! That’s good news. There are certain personalities that can get away with a little pomposity, I think, and Eco is one of them. I saw him in person once at a book talk, and he was utterly charming, enthusiastic, and funny. Very stereotypically Italian in terms of energy and liveliness. Nearly impossible not to like
