Quando vuoi fare un regalo e non hai un'idea precisa di cosa regalare, bisognerebbe donare un libro. Non c'è bisogno di una ricorrenza specifica: è sempre bello donare un libro. Veicola sempre un messaggio, un'idea, un sogno. Peccato che ogni volta che regalo un libro, il più delle volte la gente si incazzi...

If you want to make a gift and you have no idea about what to buy, well donating a book it's always a good choice. It's no necessary to wait for a specific occasion: it's always something good.

Gunter Grass: "The Tin Drum"

This is a beautiful romance in which, through the protagonist's autobiography, the midget and bizarre Oskar Matzerath, the author tells German History during the XX century's most critical years.

Frequently the protagonist seems to be the personification and a symbol of Germany itself during those years with these biografies running initially in parallel being extremely confused at the end.

I think that this is a very good book having a very pleasant reading. It is a real "European Literature Classic" by now...
