Hello Folks! How are you all doing?

For me, the summer period has always been characterised by increased reading time.

The combination of a beach umbrella and a book is a great, irresistible classic for me, and even though I already belong to the group of people who are defined as ‘heavy readers’, i.e. those who read around 20 books or more in a year… summer always brings a further surge in the number of books I devour.

This leads also to a typical side effect of my character, the verticalisation on one author. That’s right, because when I get passionate about someone’s creativity I tend to verticalise and read all (or almost all) of their output.

It has always happened to me even when listening to music.

If I find an author who attracts me, I tend to go through his entire creative life trying to understand the levers that transformed and characterised his work.

Having also embarked on the path of thriller writing, my reading, which had always tended towards a predilection for this literary genre, has recently intensified in this direction.
