1. Skeleton Crew by Stephen King – most of the short stories are average but some of them are brilliant
2. Sztuka Przyciagania Ludzi by Milosz Karbowski – a comprehensive book explaining how to attract people
3. Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Manbsch – entertaining. I tried to put my sister to sleep few times and that was more or less what I was thinking at that time
4. Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss – a nice, children book
5. and 6. The Book of Bunny Suicides and Return of the Bunny Suicides by Andy Riley – both very entertaining
7. The Mystery of the Coughing Dragon by Alfred Hitchcock – average. I find it quite funny that Hitchcock included himself as one of the characters.

How I did it: I took a super-intensive summer course last year, then I participated in an anual course, then in July I took another super-intensive course and in August I went to Palermo for another intensive course. After a year of studying I finished B2. I'm able to read press in Italian, watch movies and what's the most important I'm able not only to communicate but to do it correctly. I met many wonderful people in Sicily and when you understa… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was quite difficult to choose only 43 so most of them have something more than just beauty which made me choose them.Of course there were some which were simple musts but sometimes it was difficult to choose between two men. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Even if I wasn't eating very healthy I was trying not to do the things I used to to when I had pangs of hunger. I'm not an ordinary person as far as eating is concerned. I still have problems with eating in public and buying food and I still think that people look at me and think that I'm a fat cow. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
1. Omerta by Mario Puzo – from a Christmas parcel. I really enjoy reading Puzo’s books and I regret that there are so few left for me to read.
2. Brick Lane by Monica Ali – sometimes you just lucky enough to read certain book in certain moment in your life.
3. Something to Tell You by Hanif Kureishi – it isn’t a bad book. It is well written and partially entertaining but it failed to make me understand its message.
4. Plotki gina pierwsze by Aleksandra Marinina – I liked the book I read before more but I still enjoyed reading this one
5. Memories, Dreams, Reflections by C.G Jung – some parts are truly fascinating. The book is not particularly difficult to understand but it’s somehow tedious because of Jung’s obsession about his dreams, his sexist views and lack of understanding of Eastern teachings
6. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier – an excellent book. at the exact moment when the reader grows tired of the main character’s love life the story of suspense begins.
