I’d never notice the grammar errors in Italian! In English, maybe.

Hah! If you get the book, Gil, let me know what you think!

While I adored “Eat, Pray, Love,” most travel books seem to be diarists’ travelogues in which much of the detail serves as proof that they were really there. And too often, Italian and Spanish words are interchanged, which is simply sloppy and loses my interest quickly. (Of course I’m jealous because I’m not in Italy.)

Hee hee…I agree with you. I definitely enjoy travelogues much more when they go deeper than the physical locations….

Oh dear, my least favorite type of book. I won’t be reading yet another book by foreigners visiting Italy and recounting their experiences…but that’s just me. I’m sure lots of other people will get great reading pleasure out of it!

I can certainly understand that, Saretta

I have got to get myself to Italy one of these days. Until then, I’ll keep living vicariously through books like this.

Yes! Come! And read too, of course

I think I'm starting 1000 Days in Tuscany this week. Have you read that? This looks interesting, but I have to say that loose editing is one of my pet peeves, too. I haven't, I don't think...I'm starting to forget which books I've read and which I've been intending to read! .-= jen of a2eatwrite´s last blog ..Some Bloggy Stuff =-.

Sounds like a fun read. Good for some "arm chair" traveling. Absolutely! .-= nyc/caribbean ragazza´s last blog ..Lo Shopping: The Lion Bookshop =-.
