Yes I read Under the Tuscan Sun and also one called Too Much Tuscan Sun. Tuscany is beautiful and while I would love to visit there (on a regular basis), I really want to stay in Rome. I need more Rome books. I read the whole series of the Colleen McCullough Rome books except one, which I can't find. Then we went back to visit Rome for reals and it really made the books more alive and the books made the city more alive. I breathed deep every time I went anywhere because I wanted to inhale the city into my core. My skin practically tingled when we walked the roads where Julius Caesar walked, where Gaius Marius spoke and where Sulla plotted his plans.

Tuscany is wonderful but Rome is home.
