I usually avoid online questionnaires because they are simply stupid and complete waste of time. But when my wife send me the link to this questionnaire I find it pretty much fun, mostly if you take the results with more than a grain of salt.
And hmm here are my results… :)
You’re Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!

. . . like fire and fusion, government is a dangerous servant and a terrible master. You now have your freedom–if you can keep it. But do remember that you can lose this freedom more quickly to yourselves than to any other tyrant.

If anyone suspected that my addiction to the Harry Potter books is because I like children books, or that the dark story of wizard has its own magic - that works on old people too, she was wrong.

Being on vacation I missed the interview of John Stewart with former national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. I was surprised by Zbigniew’s sense of humor, but not by his brightness - and agreeing with him or not, its worth the time listening to him, or in this case reading his new book, Second Chance: Three […]

I’m reading, with great pleasure, Chingiz Aitmatov’s book - The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years. I will always prefer his approach and description of the Kazakh people, and his approach to humanity in general, than Borat’s approach. And yes I know, Borat intention is to expose the American, or western, dark sides […]

Recently I started to read a new book about the “Yom-Kipur” war, or the October 73 war in its other name. The book, "The Yom Kipur War – Moment of Truth ", is not translated to English yet, but I suspect it is not long until it will. Since this war is a […]

hackoff.com by Tom Evslin renewed the great tradition of serial stories. But unlike Charles Dickens stories, Hackoff.com was publish first on a blog platform. I got hooked to the story pretty much from the beginning and every day at 8:00 am I checked, in my RSS reader, the new episode.
I have […]
