Autumn weather

Hello again!

The autumn began some time ago. For most people this means the beginning of gloomy weather outside and a depressed mood. It's hard to disagree with that but there is one thing that can cheer up a little this time. For me october means long evenings spent in warm socks, with hot tea in one hand and a good book in the other. This magical way to forget about the problems and delve into a completely different world has its charm only at the time of falling leaves and that’s why i like this season.

This year, autumn began for me with the stories of Andrzej Stasiuk contained in the book titled “Nie ma ekspresów przy żółtych drogach”.  This is one of my favorite Polish, and his nostalgic and beautiful descriptions of the surrounding world perfectly match the rainy weather outside the window. The book is a collection of short stories, which I think could be clippings from the private diary. I can't describe what the story is about in a few words, because it is a mixture of various memories and thoughts, but I can assure you that the way the writer selects words and combines them into a unique whole is sure to impress any lover of literature. I am delighted with the accuracy of his observations and their transmission in such a beautiful form.

As you can see autumn doesn’t  have to be a reason to be depressed and sad. Maybe life goes on a little slower pace, and the day is getting shorter, but even at this time of year we can find something positive. I definitely appreciate that we have more time for small pleasures like reading books or watching movies and I am looking forward to another evening with the cozy blanket and one more amazing story.
