Every few years I come back to " The Baron In The Trees" and "Palomar", my favorite books from Calvino. Highly recommend, he has a certain way with words. Doesn't take himself seriously but still ponders deeply about things we all can relate.

I adore that book. I finally got to read it in Italian this year and was so happy to find that the English translation I'd initially read so well conveyed Calvino's playfulness in that book.
