di quel che c'è non manca niente! ;-) 

LOL!
You can read the whole book here:
http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Il_giornalino_di_Gian_Burrasca ;

"Il giornalino di Gian Burrasca"
It is written as it were the diary of a, non yet teenager, boy, this is why it is quite simple, nevertheless it is also really funny. It is an old book, for this reason you can find some words that maybe are old fashioned, on the other hand you can see a picture of Italy at the begin of last century.

Hello, Karen!

Well I would recommend this book, is easy to read and all young boys in Italy should have read it in the elementary school. Cuore is a compilation of short histories all of them with a good message to learn.

It was written by Edmondo de Amicis a nineteenth century writer and Cuore is well known by any italian student. .. And best of all it's free and here you can find it in .pdf format

Hope it will be usefull for you.

By the way, I' looking to improve my spoken english and need someone to talk to by skype from time to time.. and I could retribute with my knowledges of spanish and italian.

I've completed some courses but I feel that what I need now is someone to talk to.

...if you have some time to spare... I'll be glad to share my italian and spanish, if needed.

;-)

Bye for now, Giorgio
