Excellent. I've enjoyed reading Popova's (and, of course, Calvino's) work before, but it didn't occur to me to seek out a blog from her. An excellent introduction to that...Calvino has always seemed a thoroughly Right G, and I'm proud that my grandfather was born his countryman (there are plenty of fellow Italians, along with members my other ethnicities and citizenries, I can choose to be less proud of)(and they of me, of course).
And it's a gauge of my semi-consciousness entirely too often that almost everyone else thinks of her blog first. Which she solicits pledges for. Not a road I'd want to go down, but I suspect it's part of her daily bread supply...hm. The pro/am blogger divide.

Popova runs an excellent blog, all right. I'm always glad to find something to link to there.

I'm definitely on the am side of that one.
