Si sa, è tipico di ogni cosa nuova appena iniziata farci fare un piccolo resoconto di ciò che è stato, una sorta di rewind di quello che ha caratterizzato il nostro anno appena passato. E a questo non sono indenni nemmeno le librarian come me, ma la sottoscritta ha trovato un buon modo per farlo: guardare la mia libreria .
Eh si, perchè lì dentro - un locus amoenus dove spesso e volentieri I just find their way there myself! - There is much of what has characterized my last 365 days. A book for all times and for every mood, for every challenge and every emotion.
And so, even the one just finished, I like to be remembered as another year full of books. Some wonderful discoveries, others to forget. Some good, some not. One year
never stop doing one of the few constants in my life precarious read.
one year was so exhilarating, with the first reading: Pride and Prejudice and zombies Seth Grahame-Smith. And done so well, and me with of Niccolo Ammaniti, closed only a few days ago. A small but valuable book which will undoubtedly speak, I entered the heart.
In between, a number of authors who, in one way or another, I'll bring back. By Alice Sebold, Anne Holt, by Stefan Zweig in Alan Bennett, from Margaret Mazzantini to Joseph Brodsky, to name a few (very few). Finding old friends, like Fred Vargas and Agatha Christie (in a new discovery this year as romantic), Tiziano Scarpa and Ian McEwan. Books to touch, smell, browse, and stress. Books that have stayed with me on my bedside table, which took me by train or bus, that have kept me awake because just can not bring myself to close . Some made me smile. Many think. More angry. A few - fortunately - I was bored. And some are not even able to finish it - but Pennac would agree with me (if you have not already done so, read his wonderful novel How ).
What remains for me is the scent of many, many pages. The memory of new emotions that only the writing and reading can give me. And a desire, or rather two.
The first: never stop excited by opening a book.
The second: to be able to get at least a hint of all this to you. You who make me the best gift: leggermi.
Buon anno , e che sia un anno pieno di letture ed emozioni.
