Ridiculously long list of bookreviews
Apr. 5th, 2013 03:56 pmEver since meeting on my brother's birthday years ago and discovering we had similar tastes, I've been mailing about books, films and music with Jelle. Over time these e-letters became huge, so recently we both agreed to try to keep our reviews as to the point as possible;-) Here's my first effort for the books I read in January and February. Translated from my original summaries and opinion in Dutch...
( I didn't manage to contain my enthusiasm for some books;) )

Check my fanfic recs for digital stories I read in between and my readinglist for a list of the books I've read since then. Currently I'm in the middle of Maurice by E.M. Forster. I was reminded of this author thanks to the story collection mentioned above. I originally had a bit of trouble getting used to the formal language in this book (it was written in 1914 but on request of the author not published until after his death in 1970) - but now I'm really getting into it. I remember some of it from a (tv) filmadaptation from 1987 I saw years ago With James Wilby, Rupert Graves and Hugh Grant!) but don't recall how it ended... So far it's quite an emotional rollercoaster. *bites lip*
Fortunately I'm still in a strong state of mind and a surprisingly good mood because of the awesome song my iPod played during my shower this morning: Fat Boy Slim - That Old Pair Of Jeans. (Not necessarily happy lyrics, but such a good sound;)

P.S. It seems some people expected different windmills than the ones I posted pictures of yesterday; My camera and I are on a mission to make up for that;)
