…cand prind putin timp liber (foarte rar, din pacate; sper sa se imbunatateasca situatia in cateva luni…). In momentul de fata citesc si sunt entuziasmat de (pana acum, sunt pe la jumatate si cred ca devorez si restul in maxim doua zile- sau doua nopti, e mai sigur ca voi gasi timp- e prea interesanta sa o las din mana) cartea recenta a lui Adrian Gavrilescu, “Noii precupeti.
