I started reading this book All the light we cannot see, but I wasn't able to get into the story and I didn't have the patience to continue. I'm going to try the series!

I've found recently that a number of the books recommended to me by friends, or avid online readers, I haven't been able to finish. I Know Where The Crawdads Sing was one such book but I saw the film and really enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy All the Light we Cannot See as much as I did.

Lovely Rumi poem. Glad Duolingo works for you. I would not recommend Pimsleur.

All the Light-- I won't be watching. Sadly, Mark Ruffalo is a rabid Jew hater.

I didn't know about Mark Ruffalo, CK. The world is a worrying place at the moment. So much division. Rumi's poetry is all about love, we desperately need more of that.

I will definitely be watching All The Light We Cannot See. But as far as languages go I am utter.y 100% useless. I have such admiration for people who can pick up languages. I can say please thank you but that is as far as it goes and it makes me feel I am being rude. But I get tongue tied and self conscious xx

I know what you mean. I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying the learning but it will be a different matter actually speaking the language in Italy. I'll probably end tongue tied and self-conscious too. I plan to write about it so I'll report back. xx
