Invisible Cities By Calvino - a beautiful read

A book of imagination that has wonderful descriptions of cities (some based on real ones, some made up).They are told to you from Marco Polo's perspective as he tells his tales to emperor Kublai Khan. The book consists mainly of brief prose poems describing 55 cities framed by conversations between the two men. This is in my top 3 books of all time! I adore it!

I think that Marco polo is the imagination in all of us and how we want things that are impossible sometimes and Kublai khan is the one that brings us back to reality. i see myself as the imagination type. i loved this book. my grandfather is Italian and he told me to read it. I like this book.Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

I have yet to see a video of a decent looking girl who barely even has anything insightful to say that DOESN'T have her appearance commented on

I've seen very decent looking males do reviews and everybody posts intellectual comments

here it's "you're so cute"

If you haven't read "The Kite Runner" you have to. It just flows so well. And while it is a fictional story, it feels so real. It really is a masterpiece and by far my favorite book of all time.
