"We take refuge in make-believe terrors so the real ones don't overwhelm us, freezing us in place an making it impossible for us to function in our day-to-day lives. We go into the darkness of a movie theater hoping to dream badly, because the world of our normal lives looks ever so much better when the bad dream ends..."
Stephen King from the new introduction to "Danse Macabre".
I guess that's a pretty good explanation for why I read his books.

Words of wisdom #1
"If there is one sound that follows the march of humanity, it is the scream".
David Gemmell
To my mind it's the most adequate summary of the condition of a contemporary man.I work a lot, usually from early morning till late evening, and often feel like I'm thrown down some kind of pipe, going down too quick, being asked to do hundreds of meaningless, useless things on the way. Or at least that a rather far-fetched way of saying I'm too busy with work most of the time.And that's why I really appreciate all the spare time I can devote to the hobby.
Have a great weekend everyone!
