Reading Under the Tuscan Sun, made me want to speak Italian, dress Italian, make love to an Italian man, (yeah, baby), eat Italian food, paint my walls of my house so that they look like a Tuscan villa, decorate with tapestry. I want olives, pasta, coffee, gelato - all of the things they eat in Italy. I wandered about the grocery last week looking for Italian offerings and the best I could do was to buy a bag of tri-color pasta. How sad.
I want to sit in the sun on the terrace and drink wine. Frances Mayes does a wonderful job of leaving you wanting more. More of Tuscany, more of her writing, more of life! That's Amore'!
I'm excited about our first get together tonight and getting to know everyone better. What could be more fun than eating Italian and talking bout what we've just read? Yay for our book club!
