In week-end am fost plecat departe de forfota Capitalei, asa ca am avut vreme sa citesc nestingherit si netulburat. O parte dintre textele care mi-au retinut atentia le aveti mai jos. Lista integrala (admit ca e prea lunga pentru unii, o gasiti aici). Mi-ar placea sa imi trimiteti la comentarii adresele de net ale unor texte care v-au retinut voua atentia pentru a le promova. Sau bloggeri romani nisati pe stiinte. Pana atunci, nu-mi ramane decat sa va urez o zi usoara si lectura cat mai placuta!
