n. The condition or state in which humans exist in a meaningless, irrational universe wherein people's lives have no purpose or meaning.

The local library deserves a big kiss for making my day on several occasions in the past few weeks. A Yugoslav Nobel laureate in literature, a Russo-Canadian writing about fools, a couple of Czechs writing exciting short stories, and yet another Yugoslav who would have received the Nobel Prize, had he not died before the ceremony.

Each of these books cost me 80 eurocents, although I’m sure they are worth much more since they are bound to, in all their Slavonic absurdity and beauty, provide me with lots of fantastic moments. 
The only downside is that they are all translations, but then again, you can’t have it all, especially not for 4 euro.

That is a really good price to pay for those timeless reads!:)
At least they will keep you company a lonely night like this! (Now..where is that bf of yours?! ;))

Yup, isn't it?
The bf of mine isn't as lucky as me, so he had to return to work this week!
