“What readers ask nowadays in a book is that it should improve, instruct and elevate. This book wouldn't elevate a cow. I cannot conscientiously recommend it for any useful purposes whatever. All I can suggest is that when you get tired of reading "the best hundred books," you may take this for half an hour. It will be a change."

“Празни мисли на един празен човек” - книга, която няма да забравя дълго време.
Толкова разкрит екзистенциализъм, пречупен през призмата на сатирата. “Празни мисли”, овековечени през далечния 19. век, а човек и днес открива себе си, своите интимни мисли и душевен гнет в тях. И сякаш те за малко намират покой. Ще се препрочита!

Easy read for people in need of thought provoking phylosophy about life. It's about how a poet sees the world. It's so joyful because it has a romantic aspect to it that you always idealise. Perfect book if you're overwhealmed by too much non-ficiton (Both for listnening and reading)

As always, JKJ's ramblings were very funny, but he also used it to throw in difficult truths. I love how relatable this man from 137 years ago was.

Humourous essays on a range of topics, that quickly veer off on tangents. A little dated, but more notable for the truth that still rings through. Quite quotable and witty too.

Ať jsem se snažila sebevíc, tak mě to prostě nebavilo. Nakonec jsem to přetrpěla do konce. Pár úsměvných momentů jsem tam měla, ale to je tak vše.
