A nice place to read

Che spettacolo!

What nicer reading opportunity than in the library of the University of Durham? I love this place: head down, book, journal or magazine; head up, the Cathedral.

View from the 3rd floor

It reminds me of another wonderful reading situation: 4th floor of the library of the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, with a book by Leopardi coming from the Italian Literature shelves: head up, Via della Faggiola through the window, where the poet himself lived.

Sorry, I had no camera cellphone back then, in Pisa!
