I'm an avid books reader, a philosopher and a physiotherapist. I like meet people with a lot of interents and experiences from which I ever hope and want learn something. I love animals, expecially dogs, I'm vegetarian, and hate all kind of discrimination and prejudice against every creature living. I'm real and mind traveller; like Proust I think "Le seul véritable voyage, le seul bain de Jouvence, ce ne serait pas d’aller vers de nouveaux paysages, mais d’avoir d’autres yeux, de voir l’univers avec les yeux d’un autre, de cent autres, de voir les cent univers que chacun d’eux voit, que chacun d’eux est" (La Prisonnière, Les Verdurin se brouillent avec M. de Charlus)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a very book's lover: I prefer reading novels. Some I love are all masterpiece of Fëdor Dostoevskij, Lev Tolstoj, Emile Zola, Victor Hugo, but I like also contemporary literature.
My life books are "Buzz Aldrin, hvor ble det av deg i alt mylderet?" by Johan Harstad, "Mémoires d'une jeune fille rangée" by Simone de Beauvoir, "Il male oscuro" by Giuseppe Berto, "Les mots pour le dire" by Marie Cardinal, "The children's book" by A.S. Byatt, and "Les oiseaux" by Albertine and Germane Zullo. I've read"À la recherche du temps perdu" for three years and I haven't finished yet... I hope to do before the end of my life! But I could say Proust for me is the Writer.
I like see movies; my favourites filmmakers are Woody Allen, Ferzan Ozpetek, Sophie Coppola. I love also French movies.
I often go to see operas; my favourite composer is Puccini.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Three years ago I started to study again in University to get a degree in Physiotherapy... I haven't yet known if I can say "so far so good"...

This years I decided to learn playing violin without know anything of music ( neither reading the notes...) Maybe you can ask to my neighbours if I can say "so far so good" :-)

I read more than 1000 books in my life...but it wasn't too difficult for me
