Holiday Homework Book for Adults

An primary-school book for those with nostalgia for their school books and those long summer afternoons that, when we were children, always seemed to go on forever with nothing to do. The first volume of the “Holiday homework book for adults” promises 120 hours of fun, with 150 exercises including crossword puzzles, quizzes, curiosities, puzzles, and tests. All of them are illustrated and flagged by icons that indicate the degree of difficulty, with suggestions for how and where to do them. The icons range from green for easy problems to red for those calling for some really hard thinking, by way of the ghost icon, the scourge of Pac-Man, which marks exercises with pleasant things to remember from the past, as the legend at the beginning of the book puts it. Right from the first pages, it is clear that the hardest task for the reader will be to put their pop culture to the test: cinema, television, music, trivia, literature, science, sport, and food. For example, you will need to associate the right stage clothes with films and television series, guess the hits on a jukebox from the first lines, find out who wrote the most pitiless literary reviews, and learn the differences between American English and British English with Britney Spears and Michael Caine. The solutions are all at the end of the book, but you only win if you make the best of your time, without simply letting it pass by.   Quaderno di compiti delle vacanze per adulti – Vol. 1 Daniel Lopez Valle, Cristobal Fortunez Blackie Edizioni, 2020
