The month of October is upon us, and what does October famously bring along? Yes, the Daylight Saving Time too, but that's not exactly what I meant - I'm more leaning towards that celebration which always takes place on
It's easy to assume that literally everybody has at least once read a Stephen King book - there's a lot of them to begin with, since he averages more than one per year, and this is quite impressive, since a large majorit
Each year, around this period, we stop and think things through for a minute, and conclude that summer has indeed passed suspiciously fast. Sadness instills itself bit by bit, alongside a short-term sense of nostalgia fo
