You don't always hit it with every book. Sometimes it's just not the right time in your life for whatever it is you've picked up. But hopefully, you get lucky.
I was listening to the New Yorker Fiction Podcast in the bathtub on a cold winter's night and an Italo Calvino short story was meandering its way down the byzantine conduit of my ear. Suddenly I found myself in a surrealist state of a young love affair in a small antiquated Italian village between world wars, wondering what love is truly all about. Thanks, Italo.
