I can not find suitable words to describe the emotions that overwhelmed me now, when I read this book. What’s it like to be a man, below all – in an instant become a genius – and also painful to degrade back, aware of the whole process? Degrade and understand – that there is nothing you can change. Today you spoke to professors – and tomorrow you already can not remember what it is – read and write. Forget acquaintances and friends, a loved one. Not easy to forget – and not even suspect they existed. The man, a former Down in the blink of an eye become a genius – and devoting a short life struggle with illness. And again become helpless. I wonder how would you have ordered this time?

After disease
Well, I worked my first shifts after illness. They were in a normal environment, the more that I’m homesick for the team. And I was glad for all to see, even those who regularly blows my mind! And today came to see me, my cousin, with whom we had a fun time playing blues and rock guitars. After yesterday’s night shift brought home some new books!
- “Lagre wagon” by Max Frei (my favourite <3)
- “Dandelion wine” by R. Bradbury
- “L’elegance du herisson” by M. Barbery
- “Flowers for Algernon” by D. Keyes
More still can not say anything, because I have not yet started to read them…
