Review: Do Blue: Water, waves and wellbeing

Do Blue: Water, waves and wellbeing Do Blue: Water, waves and wellbeing by Nick Hounsfield
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lately, I’ve been seeing quite a few books in bookstores that are meant to inspire us to spend more time in the water—or at least in contact with it.
Living in a big city isn’t easy, even though Berlin is surrounded by lakes, but despite this, the books all share a similar core message: that water heals, if not actually saves.
Considering that I’ve spent most of my life in the pool, I can’t help but agree—even if, for me, it’s the smell of chlorine that makes the difference in whether or not I get in the water.
Anyway, inspiring stories and beautiful photos.

Ultimamente sto leggendo e vedendo in libreria parecchi libri che dovrebbero servirci da ispirazione per passare piú tempo in acqua o quanto meno a contatto con essa.
vivendo in una grande cittá non é facile, anche se Berlino é circondata da laghi, ma nonostante questo i libri sono tutti piuttosto simili nel loro messaggio di base, che é quello che l'acqua guarisce se non addirittura salva.
considerato che io ho passato in piscina gran parte della mia esistenza non posso che essere d'accordo anche se per me é l'odore di cloro quello che fa la differenza se venire o meno in contatto con l'acqua.
Comunque, storie che ispirano e belle foto.

I received from the püublisher an advanced digital review copy in exchange for a honest review.

Review: What We Can Know

What We Can Know What We Can Know by Ian McEwan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In my personal ranking of horribly human fictional characters, Vivian and Francis come in a close second to the little girl from *Atonement*. So I’d say Ian McEwan fits right in with the banality of evil. A very, very dense book, in which there is very little dialogue and almost everything is told in the first person—but not by the same narrator. A chilling yet ordinary future awaits us a hundred years from now, but I have neither the rush nor the desire to get there. I don’t know, maybe it’s a beautiful book, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Nella mia personale classifica dei personaggi di finzione orribilmente umani, Vivian e Francis balzano quasi al primo posto, occupato dalla bambina di Espiazione. Quindi direi che Ian McEwan ci sguazza bene nella banalità del male. Un libro molto molto denso, in cui i dialoghi sono pochissimi e viene raccontato quasi tutto in prima persona, ma non la stessa. Un futuro agghiacciante, ma normale quello che ci aspetta tra un centinaio di anni, ma al quale non ho nessuna fretta né voglia di arrivare. Non saprei, magari é un bellissimo libro, ma io non lo consiglierei a nessuno.
