Invisible Cities

I really enjoyed reading Calvino's Invisible Cities. All of the descriptions tie in different emotions and how each city was affected by them. The city described as Thekla talks about the inhabitants constantly starting more and more construction on their city in hopes to keep it standing with all of the work being done. They base their blue prints off the stars they see in the sky at night. All of these excerpts bring a really interesting organic life to the cities they are describing. It made me wish daily life was a little less complicated.
