Pardon mechatters, short review for those who haven't read Invisible Cities , it describes dialogues between Marco Polo, the Venetian traveler, and Kublai Khan, the oriental emperor.

Invisible Cities is one of my favorite books. I can still remember the wonder I felt the first time I read it.

I’d love to just visit it. I love Invisible Cities too, & re-read it just a few weeks ago.

dabitch & omiewise: did you catch this recentish Mefi thread which mentions this hotel (among other things)?

matteo, what's this about using the canals in Milan for something recently?
