Book Excerpt for the Day

    “Geralt,” said Stregobor, “when we were listening to Eltibald, many of us had doubts.  But we decided to accept the lesser evil.  Now I ask you to make a similar choice.”


    “Evil is evil, Stregobor,” said the witcher seriously as he got up.  “Lesser, greater, middling, it’s all the same.  Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred.  I’m not a pious hermit.  I haven’t done only good in my life.  But if I’m to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all."



    (from The Witcher: The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski)
