Chicken Soup for the Soul In ancient times, inspiring and heartwarming stories were rare and traveled slowly. You’d hear them from reliable sources (or at least you believed they were reliable). You’d find them in books, and your heart would fill with optimistic energy; you’d regain some faith that the world wasn’t completely doomed. Honestly,…
Tribe of Mentors Uh, Tim Ferriss… to be honest, I’m not entirely sure what to think of him. I really don’t know. He’s one of those authors where I get the feeling that his blog and podcast are more interesting—and have more credibility—than his books. I’ve owned his bestseller The 4-Hour Workweek for ages, as…
Devil May Cry There are people in this world – real or fictional – who are simply cool no matter what they do or where they show up. Morgan Freeman could narrate a documentary about potato cultivation, and you’d still somehow feel like you just experienced God or enlightenment (and the documentary would win at…
The Briefcase When you finish reading The Briefcase by Hiromi Kawakami, you’ll be left with mixed feelings. And not in the sense of whether the book is well written or not—stylistically, it absolutely is. The confusion is more emotional: you won’t be sure whether you’re supposed to feel happy, sad, nostalgic, lonely, or something entirely…
Three Tiny Vials “Good afternoon, what would you like to drink?” She’s sweet. A slim blonde, maybe twenty-three, twenty-four at most. Probably works here part-time when she needs to, just enough to cover rent when it’s tight. I looked into her eyes and smiled politely. “A coffee would hit the spot right now. But I’ll…
The Last Samurai “I dreamed… I was leading a small army of great warriors. And my soldiers entered a great battle. One of the opponents was a tiger, surrounded on all sides by my great warriors. However, the wounded beast showed the heart of a true samurai, so strong that not one of my warriors…

Task objective: Write a pile of fabrications and trash some Serbian businessman, preferably a successful one. Conditions: Important that it sounds shocking, that it mentions…
Originals Hmm… I have no idea how to review this book, which delighted and encouraged me in so many ways and is quite certainly (for me) one of the most pleasant surprises of 2020 (“Come on, and coronavirus wasn’t a surprise for you, you idio… ah, you wrote most pleasant, I just noticed, my bad…”…
He hated… yeeees… believing that had now become a real word. He hated how the weather had become so unpredictable. When it should be sunny, rain suddenly starts. And the worst kind, as if someone turned the shower on full blast. And all of it accompanied by gloomy, depressing weather. So depressing that even…
Perfect Surprise As you may have noticed from the book reviews, I don’t easily pick up domestic writers of the “newer generation” (in terms of publication period, not their ages :D) and few of them have left any “wow” impression on me so far. There are exceptions, of course, like the first book reviewed on…
