I do not rate books because I don't like the star system. I think that our world is overly concerned with metrics and leaves little place for discovery, wonder, and straying off the beaten path, so this is my small rebellion.

I read in Polish, English, and (rarely) French. I pick my lectures like a caveman (cavewoman) - because it was there and I happened to be in the mood for that. I might have a phase for a certain type of novel, and then pick something entirely else, so be warned - it's eclectic in here.

Nie wystawiam ocen liczbowych, bo nie lubię gwiazdek. Uważam, że współczesny świat kładzie wiele nacisku na oceny liczbowe, przez co zabiera przestrzeń nowym odkryciom oraz zniechęca do podążania mniej utartymi szlakami. Nie chc ...more

Aleksandra’s Quotes

“Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It’s basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating.”
― Simon Pegg
