A friend offered me membership. I don't even know what happened to him… Anyway, I'm arriving in Italy soon.

I will be at the Turin Readers' Circle from today, then I will spend about a week between Milan, Perugia as part of the UmbriaLibri literary festival, and Bologna. Then I planned a ten-day vacation in Sicily, but I haven't booked yet.
