ITALO CALVINO Italian journalist, short story writer and novelist (1923 - 1985)   CHECK READING LIST (1)   Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness.       - [Melancholy] The more enlightened out houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts.       - [Enlightenment] You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino's new novel, If on a winter's night a traveler. Relax. Concentrate. Dispel very other thought. Let the world around you fade. Best to close the door; the TV is always on in next room. Tell the others right away, "No, I don't want to watch TV!" Raise your voice--they won't hear you otherwise--"I'm reading! I don't want to be disturbed!"       - If on a Winter's Night a Traveler (ch. 1)         [Books (First Lines)] Revolutionaries are more formalistic than conservatives.       - Il Barone Rampante (ch. 28) [Revolution] Last Revised: 2008 November 10 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
