Summer Reading Program - Continued.
Alas, I haven't been reading as much in the last month or two as I would like. Life has simply gotten in the way. But as school has now started, I seem to find some free time to read (go figure... I don't get it either).
A Thousand Days in Venice by Marlena De Blasi
This was an enthralling read about an American travel journalist and chef extraordinaire, as well as a true Renaissance woman, who by chance meets a man in Venice and marries him. The book then chronicles their first 3 years together, or their thousand days in Venice. The book is an amazing read for the senses: the vivid imagery, the endless food and wine, and the Venetian history, architecture and art. A true escape from the daily grind, and a book that could be beautiful fiction, heightened even more because it is nonfiction.
