Venice

Have you ever wanted to know what the sun felt like filtered through the venetian sky? Wondered what it was like to wandere through the small cobbled streets? Travel by boat down the grand cnals of Venice? Read Donna Leon's series. She writes a detective series featuring Commisario Guido Brunetti. I've read five of her books and they are all good reads. Checkout her website.
