5/9!
Stop igra je postala še peta moja knjiga (od devetih), ki se je uvrstila med priporočila slovenskih knjižnic.
Očitno nekaj delam prav.

“We are like chess players who are trying to predict the opponent’s future moves, but in this case, we are dealing with life itself. True masters do not play the game on a single chessboard, but on multiple chessboards at the same time. And what’s the difference between grandmasters and masters? Surprises. The moves that cannot be predicted by the opponent. Life can play a simultaneous game with seven billion people at the same time and it can take each and every one of us by surprise. And we still believe we are capable of winning, because we can predict three of four moves ahead. We are insignificant.”

“Life takes place on so many different levels it is impossible to imagine them all. There are seven billion people on earth. That’s seven billion different views of the world, seven billion truths, seven billion autonomous thoughts.”

“Nikoli nisem razumel ljudi, ki zjutraj vstanejo, pojedo zajtrk, si umijejo zobe in se odpravijo v službo. Usedejo se za računalnik in si ob tipkovnico postavijo skodelico sveže skuhane kave. Čvekajo s sodelavci, surfajo po internetu in si pošiljajo kratke filmčke prek maila. In vsi, prav vsi dajejo vtis, da delajo nekaj strašno pomembnega. Med kratkimi odmori se dobivajo v kadilnicah ali pred vhodom na cigaretih, kjer razpravljajo o tem kakšne gume si je privoščil šef na
svojem novem audiju in kdo se kurba s kom. Popoldne ugasnejo računalnik, pred vhodom pokadijo še kako
cigareto, se usedejo v avtomobil in se odpeljejo domov. Pojejo večerjo, spijejo pivo, pogledajo nadaljevanko, če je dober dan, nategnejo ženo in gredo spat. In tako dan za dnem. Rutina me je vedno ubijala, zato sem se trudil, da bi živel čim bolj pestro, nekonvencionalno življenje. Nikoli se nisem videl v vrstni hiši z zeleno trato in belo ograjo, ženo, psom in dvema otrokoma. Takšno življenje se mi je zdelo preveč pusto. Življenje je prekratko. Živi hitro, umri mlad.”

“Pri 14 letih sem izdal prvo knjigo, s 16 leti sem bil v LA Timesu proglašen za najbolj obetavnega mladega pisatelja v državi. Preden sem dopolnil 18 let, sem bil odvisen od pomirjeval in večino časa pijan. Življenje pisatelja prinaša določene posledice.”

“Najprej začneš videti več. Potem slišiš več. In nazadnje čutiš več. Veš vse o vsem in vse ti je popolnoma jasno. Vidiš povezanost vsega in jo občutiš. Veš, da si eno z vesoljem.”
