Andrzej Sapkowski

He’s got a wild mix of favorites, honestly. Raymond Chandler with his gritty, punch-you-in-the-gut detective stories—nobody does noir like that guy. Then there’s Mikhail Bulgakov, who basically said, “Hey, let’s make magic and political satire hang out together.” Throw in Umberto Eco, the man who somehow makes medieval monks and murder mysteries work in the same novel, and you’ve got someone who clearly loves a puzzle. And, of course, Hemingway, the king of sparse sentences and big feelings. It’s like this guy wants a little bit of everything: the dark alleys, the surreal jokes, the brainy riddles, and the raw, unfiltered emotion. Can’t blame him—those writers deliver. You can just imagine the bookshelf: battered paperbacks, maybe some coffee stains, definitely a few dog-eared pages. That’s not just taste, that’s a whole vibe—someone who wants to feel every punch a story can throw.

Honestly, nature is a wild ride, and if you look close, the feminine side pretty much calls the shots. Women? Yeah, they’re usually tougher than guys—don’t let anyone tell you different. I mean, think about it: the whole world spins on this energy that’s nurturing, patient, but also fierce when it needs to be. If we handed over the keys to women, maybe things wouldn’t be so chaotic. Men, we sometimes treat life like it’s some sort of game or competition, but it’s way too important for that. Women just get it, you know? They bring balance, they keep things from going off the rails. In the end, maybe the secret sauce to a better world is letting that feminine strength run the show for a change. The universe has a sense of humor, though—maybe that’s why it keeps putting women in charge, even when we don’t notice.
