Stai per cominciare a leggere il nuovo romanzo “Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore” di Italo Calvino. Rilassati. Raccogliti. Allontana da te ogni altro pensiero. Lascia che il mondo che ti circonda sfumi nell’indistinto. La porta è meglio chiuderla; di là c’è sempre la televisione accesa. Dillo subito, agli altri: “No, non voglio vedere la televisione!”...

Voyage autour de ma chambre
Qu’il est glorieux d’ouvrir une nouvelle carrière, et de paraître tout à coup dans le monde savant, un livre de découvertes à la main, comme une comète inattendue étincelle dans l’espace ! Non, je ne tiendrais plus mon livre in petto ; le voilà, messieurs, lisez. J’ai entrepris et exécuté un voyage de quarante-deux jours autour de ma chambre. Les observations intéressantes que j’ai...

Tony Stark’s Mansion Cost: Is crapload a number? Why We Love It: It’s a computerized house that sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Plus, it’s packed to the top with awesome gadgets. We would probably only know how to use about 10% of them, but it would still be a great place to show off for a date. Beetle Juice’s House Cost: A house like this in E. Corinth Vermont goes for about $400K....

Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl
Michelangelo: Good evening, Your Holiness.
The Pope: Evening, Michelangelo. I want to talk to you about this painting of yours, The Last Supper. I'm not happy about it.
Michelangelo: Oh, dear. It took me hours.
The Pope: Not happy at all.
Michelangelo: Is it the yellow you don't like?
The Pope: No.
Michelangelo: It does add a bit of colour, doesn't it? Oh, I know, you don't like the kangaroo.
The Pope: What kangaroo?
Michelangelo: No problem, I'll paint him out.
The Pope: I never saw a kangaroo.
Michelangelo: Uh, he's right at the back. No sweat, I'll make him into a disciple. All right?
The Pope: That's the problem.
Michelangelo: What is?
The Pope: The disciples.
Michelangelo: Are they too Jewish? I made Judas the most Jewish.
The Pope: No, it's just that there are 28 of them.

How very little does the amateur, dwelling at home at ease, comprehend the labours and perils of the author, and, when he smilingly skims the surface of a work of fiction, how little does he consider the hours of toil, consultation of authorities, researches in the Bodleian, correspondence with learned and illegible Germans - in one word, the vast scaffolding that was first built up and then...
