Questionnaire

Abstract

When asked about the most important book in his life-long reading experience, Bogdan Mazan selects the Bible. When feeling blue, he chooses the collection This is the Day the Lord Has Made: 365 Daily Meditations (Dziś jest dzień Pański. Rozważania na każdy dzień, Polish translation by J. Iwaszkiewicz, Poznań 2000) by a Belgian Carmelite and Doctor of Philosophy Wilfrid Stinissen or a book by Henri Brunel, The Smile of Buddha. Zen Humor (transl. M. Pluta, Warsaw, 2004); when sad, he also reads Hašek’s Adventures of Good Soldier Svejk. In hopelessly grim situations, the author recommends to read the novel by Gottfried Burger The Adventures of Baron Münchhausen.
