I've always been an avid reader: my third grade teacher, Miss Audain, was very impressed when I sailed through Felix Salten's 300 page "Bambi" (yes it's a real book!) perhapos leading to my New York school's decision to have me skip the fourth grade. And there's a fifth-grade class photo in which I am sitting at my desk wearing some sort of shawl and with an open book in front of me. I clearly remember wanting to come across as an "intellectual".
My love of reading might also explain why I stayed in school so long, although by the time I was studying for my MA, and later for a Ph.D, I was concentrating on political and historical books, as my chosen subject then was International Relations with an emphasis on Europe and, more particularly

Disappointing ending ruins a good read

Although it’s always hard with Patricia Cornwall to know if you are reading about cutting edge science or digital imagination run wild, it’s generally fun. But this time many too many pages on the unlikely suspec

“Second, and contrary to what some foreigners seem to think, not every pasta dish should be doused with grated cheese: you must not sprinkle cheese on pasta with any kind of cheese; ... and most Italians would rather die than put grated cheese on pasta made with fresh tomatoes.”

“And there are those who prefer cappuccino, which in turn can be served in several varieties... . Some want it scuro, with less milk, some want it chiaro, with note milk, and some prefer it workout foam, senna schiuma, and there is generally a shaker of cocoa powder somewhere available for those eager for a bit of chocolate. Caffelatte, a hot drink we Americans mysteriously have dubbed a “latte” (which in Italian simply means “milk”), comes in only one variety and is a morning drink, as is a cappuccino.”

“[Italy is] A country where pleasure principle dominates.”
