A novel that begins eerily and mysteriously, but ends amateurishly and thoughtlessly. I felt like I was reading two different stories. The beginning is very promising. The atmosphere is very fitting f...
This book was my first encounter with Japanese literature. I don't think I'd ever even read a book by an Asian author before. As I read in the author's biography before reading the novel, the author w...
A collection of the author's short stories, compiled from works published at various periods in Grabiński's career. I already knew some of the stories included here, while others were new to me. I'll ...

This is a novel for those who enjoy dystopian worlds, a post-apocalyptic atmosphere, and themes related to propaganda. At the time of this book's writing (the 1960s), the themes explored in the novel ...
This is one of the first novels published by this author. Or rather, a novella, as it is a relatively short work. Although Dick was still developing as a writer, I already notice in this work the qual...
Working with localStorage and sessionStorage are essential part of frontend development. This post shows how to use this functionality in a consistent and organized way.
It's difficult to write a concise review of such a long novel, full of diverse plots and with so many characters. Although I'm a huge Stephen King fan, this was my first attempt at this novel. I only ...

Logging values to the console is an integral part of my daily work (and probably yours too). We can place all sorts of messages in the console: validating data, displaying information after a process has completed, or providing developer warnings are just some of the uses of the console object.

A collection of excellent short stories from the master of cosmic horror. Lovecraft's narrative style and plot development are highly repetitive. Many readers find him predictable and boring. For me, ...
Highest points for every district in Gdańsk
Dick's novels aren't easy or enjoyable for me. Unlike other science fiction authors whose work I've read many (e.g., Silverberg, Zajdel), Dick's style is quite challenging. The main character has a no...
Lovecraft's stories are so unique that I find myself drawn back to his work every time. The author's style is highly repetitive, and the same patterns can be seen in almost every one of his stories. T...
"The Regulators" is presented as a mirror novel to "Desperation." Both novels share common characteristics: the main villain (the demon Tak), certain locations, and, above all, the characters. They sh...
It's been over a year since I last read Stephen King. I finished the Dark Tower series back then. I returned to this author and read a book that has some connection to the world depicted in the series...

This is a very extensive commentary and analysis of the phenomenon of Donald Trump's adoration among right-wing circles in Poland. This type of political commentary and analysis isn't the kind of book...

The conclusion of an epic adventure that captivated my reading attention for hours. Another volume filled with descriptions of the lands of Middle-earth, great battles, and the adventures of the hobbi...
This is the second novel by this lesser-known Polish sci-fi writer I've read. Once again, the author has an interesting concept, but the execution is, in my opinion, mediocre. The plot depicts an Eart...
