Uh so it talks about things at the biggest scale possible, you know, countrywide, nationwide scale, down to
the scale of the moulding of a
banister or something like that, and tries to understand why some of those things work and why they don't.
And it's such a lovely book to read.
Over the course of my life I've bought
I would say 60 copies of that book now because I always give it to anyone who is about to renovate a house or about to build a house.
So that's my second one.
It's a great read, and you would love it.
My third one is Naples 44 by Norman Lewis.
Norman Lewis was a British intelligence officer who was sent to Naples when the German
Germans had been beaten out of there, and he was sent there to find out whether there were nascent fascist groups still working in Naples.
And he kept a diary.
And this is the most fabulous diary you'll ever read.
It's just
both hilariously funny, deeply moving, and totally confusing, and that you realize that Naples was like another planet.
It's like reading sci fi some of it, the strangeness of that little world of Naples, with its intertwining of
Deep religiosity.
Deep criminality, deep love of the senses.
Incredible attention to food.
Weird decaying aristocracies all woven in with crooks and priests and so on.
