Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino
5.0

Something about Calvino's writing is so amusing and novel to me! I really enjoyed Invisible Cities. It was a much faster read than If on a Winter's Night, but almost over too soon! looking forward to reading more of his work. Loved his various city concepts.

"Arriving at each new city the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer posess lies in wait for you in foreign, unposessed places."

"You take delight not in a city's seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours."
