Do you know what common thread runs through names like Norman Vincent Peale, Tony Robbins, or the now-cult documentary/book “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, as well as dozens of other successful individuals in the world of business, motivation, and whatnot? They all share one thing in common: a small, blue booklet that you’ve probably…
I have always believed that “stories are meant to put small children to sleep and “wake up” the adults”. As children, we enjoy these tales (fairy tales, fables, anecdotes…), that is, their mystical/fantasy/fantastic element. As we grow older, we realize that many of these stories carry significant and meaningful life lessons. And later, when…
When I finished reading the novella “The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick,” I wasn’t sure how to approach this work by Peter Handke. Did I like this book or not? Should I have perhaps started with one of his more recent works, instead of one of his earliest (as far as I can…
One of the most-read texts on this blog (in fact, this text is still the champion in terms of the number of visits) is the review of Mark Manson’s book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”. This book ended up on my shelf known as the “Shelf with books that must be…
Uh, the situation is not easy either for the film we’re discussing today or for me. How to stay objective in a review of a film from which you have great expectations, simply because it’s made based on one of your favorite books? But, what must be done, is not hard. 🙂 Let’s…

Do you remember our friend Doppler from the novel of the same name by Erlend Loe? Our Norwegian friend who had enough of everything and went to live in the forest? As you probably recall, our brilliant friend, on one hand, had grown weary of people and their presence, and on the other, longed…
Wow… I must admit, I found myself reflecting after finishing John Green’s “Looking for Alaska”. I reminisced about my time in elementary, high school (and even college, why not), thinking about the people I met during my schooling. Of course, encountering each person in our lives shapes and defines us in some way, there’s…
Okay, shortly after finishing Chuck Palahniuk’s “Fight Club,” I decided to (re)watch this cult film from 1999, starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and Helena Bonham Carter in the lead roles, riding on the waves of impressions from the book. You can read about the plot in my book review, but for that small percentage…
The first rule of Fight Club – you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club – you do not talk about Fight Club. … The eighth rule of Fight Club – if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight. Honestly, I’m…
