Acest volum se vrea a fi (este) un volum de texte încrucisate, ca meandrele soselelor mexicane, fara gropile noastre, un mic-joc de doi, picant si cu zv'c sarcastic, ca un gulas din Ardeal (nu am zis GULAG!) ...uor la lecturi (f)estivale, ca sa zic aa... de navetisti... O naveta inter-spatiala, adica între spatiile noastre carpato-v'lcene-dunarene si cele neo-mexicane, unde se pare ca avem afinitati cu exotismul cactusilor si colorismul sop'rlelor, de dorit fiind si cu ai nostri, care nu vor fi niciodata ai lor... Ceva care sa fie usor la cap si ne-greu la stomah... Ceva de noptiera, seara, ca somnifer cu efect neagresiv, o carte de recitit, pentru confort si neuitare... si a supararilor care fac bine.Pagini care dovedesc ca ardelenii se înteleg bine cu oltenii, mai ales în America de Nord.O carte ca o... bicicleta cu doi pedalisti: unul în contra-timp cu celalalt! Ne înelegem atunci c'nd ne certam! Dupa o vreme de harta, unul zice paradoxist: ¿ Pai eu ce ziceam, omule ?¿Sa fie o carte uoara, agreabila, nu prea groasa, doua registre pe acelai spirit, cum suntem....

'Eat Pray Love' meets 'An Apple A Day' meets 'Under The Tuscan Sun'. Stuck in a job he hates, madly smitten with a woman two decades his junior, racing helplessly into middle age and living in a world where vodka and orange juice is considered breakfast food, Mark Hill knows it's time to make a big life change. He quits his job, stuffs a few clothes and some personal items into an old navy duffel bag, sends all of his other possessions to the bin or the charity shop and books a one-way ticket to Portugal. In a small town slightly off the tourist trail he leaves the rat race behind, discovers a slower pace of life, comes to terms with unrequited love, develops a taste for fresh fish and eventually learns how to say "boa tarde." Poignant, insightful and sometimes funny, Sophie, Rice and Fish is for anyone who’s ever thought "there has to be more to life than this." ...

Seventeen-year-old Casey Smith can't wait to embark on her summer vacation, not least because she's finally shed her tomboy image, and now heartthrob Mike seems interested. What starts out great, with lots of hot flirting, taking her a step closer to winning her crush's heart, soon turns into her worst nightmare.

Usko žanrovski posmatrano, po svojoj formi, Prizivanje Katarine je politički triler, i predstavlja nastavak prethodnog romana D.M.Skileta po imenu Knjiga snimanja. Knjiga snimanja govorila je o ratnim profiterima i zaveri u najvišim krugovima srpske politike, o sprezi politike i kriminala, dok se u Prizivanju Katarine osim sa ovom neizbežnom spregom takođe susrećemo sa jednim drugačijim, okultnim, Beogradom, sa pravim stranim plaćenicima i pravim revolucionarima, sa nenapisanom srpskom istorijom, i sa sasvim originalnom verzijom najvećeg srpskog ratničkog mita.. Naime, ratnički mitovi često određuju i usmeravaju narode: Englezima puno znači mit o Svetom gralu, Nemcima mit o Nibelunzima, što je sasvim bezazleno do trenutka kad se neko seti da mit proglasi za državnu politiku. Tada po pravilu nastaje nacionalna katastrofa – jedna takva se desila u Hitlerovoj Nemačkoj a druga u Miloševićevoj Srbiji. Kosovske mitomane imamo i danas na političkoj sceni, a nacionalni problem broj jedan i dalje je Kosovo. Ovo nagoni na razmišljanje: zbog čega smo toliko privrženi kosovskom mitu? Koliko u njemu ima činjenica, a koliko je nastajao kao instru...

L-am cunoscut în 4 ianuarie 2003 pe paradoxalul paradoxist Florentin Smarandache (nascut în Balcesti, Vâlcea, la 10 decembrie 1954) la întâlnirea organizata de colegii sai de la Liceul Pedagogic Râmnicu Vâlcea si desfasurata în mod mai mult sau mai putin paradoxal la Liceul de Arta Râmnicu Vâlcea. Venise în vacanta de Craciun acasa, la Balcesti. Facuse o calatorie lunga, tocmai de dincolo de Ocean, din SUA, de la Universitatea “New Mexico” din orasul Gallup, statul New Mexico, unde este acum conferentiar universitar doctor la Facultatea de Matematica. A doua zi, a plecat spre patria de adoptie, dar nu fara a face o escala în Roma: nu-i nici un paradox în asta, din moment ce el este român si vorba ceea – “Toate drumurile duc la Roma!”....

“The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! The Sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not.—Great God! I’d rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”...
