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. A book materializes messages, ideas, dreams. Yet anytime I give a book as a gift in the majority of cases, people tend to get angry...

Christmas Suggestions

Just few days remaining before Christmas and the usual gift-nightmare has arrived. We are full of no-use objects. Our houses are crammed with things with which we don't know what to do. Christmas is thus the day in which you probably will receive the umpteenth useless gift.

For this reason, I exploit this terrible and very boring blog just to give a small suggestion: please give books as gifts for Christmas. Any kind of book is OK. Even if I can stand them, well you can give also cooking, cuisine or receipes' books. Photo books or an atlas are OK as well. There are so many beautiful editions with fantastic bindings which can make a wonderful impression in any private library.

I'm perfectly aware that nobody is reading this blog: anyway, dear reader, who just for a technical error is fallen in this stupid dissertation, you have to know that even here, in this boring blog, you may find some suggestion and a good book as a gift. There are enough books of any sort.

Similarly, I'm perfectly aware that there's nothing more difficult than the description of the face of who, deeply ignorant for deliberate choice-birth-faith, has just received a book as a gift when rather expecting a last generation mobile phone or any kind of technological gadget. How to say? It's a mix of hate and perplexity: maybe if you give him a pile of shit, he'd be happier...
Maybe, that book will be thrown away, used to light the fire in the chimney or as a wedge for a table. But it colud happen that someone, in that house, as hit by a sudden raptus, decides to take it, open it and, why not, also read it.

In this way sometime, as written in many books, an incredible adventure may begin...
