I love movies based on true stories or on books.
And my favorite writers are Dostoevsky, Strugatskiye, Dovlatov, Bernard Werber, Elizabeth Gilbert... But there are so many more. right now I'm more into biographical books or some self-improvement and productivity ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i'm doing amazing little things all the time, because life is amazing itself :) so i enjoy every moment of it.
