Well, I’m think about reading John K.’s Into Thin Air followed by the rebuttal book The Climb because I’ve spent all week reading about the history of Mt.Everest and Mountaineering.

Another bad in Italy: today died Luciano de Crescenzo, a famous Italian (and Neapolitan) philosopher, writer and movie director.

Today I feel as my conscience has lost some pieces, as he was the writer of one of my favourite books, “Così parlò Bellavista” (more or less could be translated as “Prof. Bellavista’s way of thinking”), which is of continuous inspiration through my whole life. Together with other De Crescenzo’s works, as those dealing with Ancient Greek mythology, they were translated in a lot of languages, and I really suggest you to read it

Since we’re a bit low on sports right now (thanks Coronavirus), I thought I’d ask what everyone’s favorite pieces of literature are? 
 

Here’s a few of mine:

Favorite Book: Things Fall Apart

Favorite Poem: A Flor e a Nausea

Favorite Myth: Ragnarok

      Spalletti is a much better coach than Gattuso, but what did his team show at the Euro against Switzerland, or in Oslo against Norway? Nothing... I'm afraid that even Guardiola and Klopp wouldn't help here- well, maybe they could somehow push Bosnia through, but what next?
