Sunt spişles.
Ce e cu coperta asta si ce vrea sa insemne faţa lui Aziraphale?!
Se mira, e speriat, vrea un fum sau poate chiar vrea sa il pupe pe Crowley?
Ce se intampla cu voi, mai tritonilor? Cum puteti sa scoateti asa ceva ?
Coperta asta e un fel de ilustratie horror din cartile lui Petre Ispirescu.

Pe cei pe care nu ii intereseaza aspectul si coperta unei carti ii rog frumos ca atunci cand isi vor cumpara aceasta carte sa o : inveleasca in ziar, hartie creponata, sa o mazgaleasca sau daca sunt usor instabili sa ii rupa coperta pentru a nu-i leza pe cei care apreciaza cartile cu totul.

Hector Servadac - Jules Verne

2007-09-15T14:17:00.000+03:00

Hector Servadac, cartea mea preferata pe vremea cand citeam Jules Verne si Splinter de Adams Roberts (Solaris).
Splinter e inspirata de cartea lui Jules Verne, unde un asteroid "smulge" o bucata din Terra cu tot cu oamenii care se aflau pe ea, ducandu-i intr-o fantastica calatorie prin univers si mai apoi spre Pamant unde se reantorc cu ajutortul unui balon.
