    1: Even if Don Delillo is one of the most acclaimed contemporary writer, I admit I struggled to finish his “Underworld”.

    2. I devoured the four books by Elena Ferrante, but her last book “La vita bugiarda degli adulti” was just okay. It was predictable, redundant and overraterd. Nothing to write home about.

    3. A book I really liked was Sandro Veronesi’s Il Colibrì. I tore through it in a day! It is emotional, deep and insightful. I really recommend it!

      Sorry if I’m only replying now…better late that never! Many thanks.

      For Ferrante’s La vita bugiarda degli adulti: yes, it is not one of his/her best book in my opinion.

      A big hug,

      Antonella
