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.

There are some beautiful lines in the book. Sarcasm is on point. However, the male narrative tone is far more distinct here. Whenever JKJ talks about women, it sounds derogatory.

Thoughtfully funny. And wide-ranging. And well-written. And worth reading again someday.
