The second Calvino reading, Ch.3 - Without Fear of Wind or Vertigo, was a continuation of what was going on in the previous reading.  The numbered chapters continued with the main character trying to find out what was going on with the books he was purchasing.  I thought it was interesting when the main character goes to the professor to find out the meaning of the book and where it came from.  It turned out that it was a language of some society that was disappearing.  But there was an argument about whether this writing came from one culture, the Cimmerians, or a different one.  I thought that it was fascinating to think of books as being part of one culture or another and the different views that people of these different culture have about certain works of art.
