Andstay, vacation time… but also homework and reviews. And if it were an opportunity to re-read the classics? Or to have fun with quizzes? The choice is yours when selecting our four books to read.
1 / Books to read. Holiday homework for book lovers
Why read it
Masters, lovers, confidants, travel companions, friends. Books are this and much more: they help us to know, discover, escape, dream, create bonds, console ourselves, ask ourselves questions and find answers. I am a mirror, a key, a party, a testimony, a passion and often a pastime. And that’s why Massimo Roscia thought of playing with books and on books, challenging the lovers – real or presumed – of reading.
Between riddles, charades, crosswords and many, many questions to get involved and show everyone that the books you say you have read you have really read them.
To the hardened bibliophiles he proposes a notebook inspired by school textbooks for the holidays, with a hundred exercises including riddles, anagrams, ciphered texts, charades, crosswords and many, many questions, with increasing difficulty, ranging from the great classics to contemporary literature, from the old to the new world and beyond. And then curiosities, anecdotes, mysterious enigmas.
No prizes to be won, no pass or fail, just an opportunity to test your knowledge and get involved, alone or in the company of family and friends. In short, an original and fun way to spend a few hours, keep your mind trained and, at the same time, refresh your memory; a different way to feed and have fun. Because, just as Cicero said, books are the food of youth and the joy of old age. Or was it Juvenal who said it?

4 / Books to read. Blondes invest better
Why read it
The “blonde investor” Janneke Willemse explains how to increase our capital quickly and easily, even starting with little money and minimal knowledge. But is it really true that to start investing you need to have a lot of money? Do you have to stand in front of a screen all day to buy and sell? And are the financial logic so complicated that only the super-experts in the sector know how they work?
Janneke gives the example of a football match: gthe experts know the players, the balance of power of the teams, the statistics of their meetings; therefore they can fully formulate a prediction, pbut they will never be able to guess the result before the game is over …
When she found out that it is scientifically proven that women invest better than men, financial journalist Janneke Willemse she started a blog to see firsthand how she would fare in managing and to make a certain amount of money yield: it went surprisingly well, so much so that in four and a half years his capital practically doubled.
