Amazing book! I've read it in parts and found it quite interesting. The narration of adolescence, love, sex, food, work, myths, temperament, men and woman all are there.

The writer has beautifully described the culture codes for different places. The best of all is when he narrates the Italian view of life. He simply says that Italian people view life as comedy while in most other places life is a tragedy... It soon came to my mind that it's not Italy where people view life like this, there are many other culture codes which guarantee life's pleasure rather than dismay.
