Here's my reading-list:
- Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter by Simone de Beauvoir;
- 2666 by Roberto Bolaño;
- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll;
- Dante's The Divine Comedy (which I studied in High School, but would like to re-read);

- The Count of Montecristo by Alexandre Dumas;
- Les Misérables by Victor Hugo;
- Giacomo Leopardi's Zibaldone ;
- In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust;

Dear @Chuch, I've found some interesting links which I'd like to share with you as soon as you read Calvino's Invisible Cities. Please, let me know when it's time to. ;)

I certainly will! This book has been on my list for quite a while so I hope to read it soon.
