RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 55: The gift

Hi ya. Good to see you my friend!

Books are good. Really good. I have a boxed set from a guy named Italo Calvino that a friend correctly recommended to me. It's waiting until I see my friend from San Diego again, she needs it :)

The Bro's was good, but I don't think Dostoevsky's best (Crime and Punishment). I'm trying to think of the book I'd send you. I think I'd send you a boxed set of Steven King's Black Tower series. A mere 4200 pages. Because I think you probably already own The Lord of the Rings series :)

Sort:  

Good to see you too! It's been some time we've interacted.

Hey, I think you've read one of Calvino's books already. I recommended to you one, The Baron in the Trees. It was by him. But a set! That would be really nice indeed! I haven't read many Calvino works yet.

Crime and Punishment is indeed hailed as Dostoyevsky's best.

Oh, I read the first book of The Dark Tower series, Gunslinger it was called. So good! But not the rest, I would like to read them sometimes in the future. So the entire series would be awesome indeed!

And you rightly surmised — I do have the LOTR series :D

Only 7 left! Plus, the characters and settings show up through all of King's Novels! Even Christina, the Buick Straight 8.

Yes! I bought the set of Calvino to read the Baron, which I loved. It was pretty cheap at the used book store...
