Re: Любимите компютърни игри
There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension And I'm NOT enjoying it. Not at all. Particularly priceless: - applying a typical tongue-in-cheek, out-of-the-box solution in a quest -> "But that doesn't make any sense! You might as well use, I don't know, a monkey ... to work a hydraulic pump!" - the copy ...

My review of A Psalm for the Wild-Built : A quiet yet moving story about finding a sense of connection (if not a purpose ;)). I only wish we got to spend more time with the characters.

My review of Black Water Sister : I don't know how to rate this book because I found it unexpectedly chilling.

Re: Книги, автори, размисли творчески и човешки
I read Bulgariana quite a while ago, and I've left just a stub of a review. Doesn't help jog my memory; I don't even remember who gave me the paper copy. :/ What I remember is that I liked the comedic tone, and the situations sounded plausible.
Pity they haven't released an electronic version.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better. This book does not make me feel sad. Despite the fact that many bad things happen, it feels somehow positive.
