See Naples and die

i am reading and falling in love with this book. it's a sequeal of "When in Rome". I was hugely happy when seeing this book in "south wind" while hunting for used books. i didn't expect to get it but when seeing it, i grabbed it tight, as if someone was going to take it from me. i just finished "when in rome" few weeks ago so finding "see naples and die" was a big fluke to me, especially when i bought it half price.
i love both books. i love the writing style of this author. light-hearted, fun and down-to-earth. reading the first book, i want to pursue my long-lost dream; staying in another country for a year.. italy is one of many countries in europe, i want to visit. but after reading both books, i felt that the desire for seeing italy has been intensified. i could feel and smell the life of Rome and Naples while savoring reading them..
both books are not for rush-reading but indulging each page like you are enjoying your fave ice cream...
