~a book~
Well, I just posted a couple of bookreviews in [livejournal.com profile] thej2bee:
  • Death Note (manga) - Tsugumi Ohba (writer) & Takeshi Obata (artist)
  • Female Chauvinist Pigs - Ariel Levy
  • The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins

  • 10 Word Reviews:
  • De Bruid Staat Rechts Van U (The Bride Is On Your Right) - Rudi van Dantzig
  • Erken Mij (Acknowledge Me) - Esther Verhoef
  • Groener Gras (Greener Grass) - Annelies Verbeke

  • My favorite out of those is The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, even if it was a little tough to translate here and there. The subject of atheism has grown to be a big issue for me in the last year(s) and I wish I could explain the importance as well as Mr. Dawkins. If you are dealing with religion in any way, you should definitely read this book.

    ~an ebook~
    I've ordered short stories from DreamSpinnerPress, but never a whole ebook (I prefer the actual paper version) but if you are looking for a good one to read on your Kindle or similar device (you lucky person, you) I recommend Tigers And Devils by Sean Kennedy. I still haven't written a proper review, because I lent the book to my friend Jelle and we managed to miss each other on several swapping occasions and I don't have it back yet, but I rate it at least 8/10. (Jelle also loved it;)

    ~fanfic~
    Okay, I hesitated to add a fanfic, since even though I am a mod in the Nick/Greg community, I'm currently very much addicted to J2 RPS and most of it is embarrassingly kinky. Not that I'm ashamed of liking it, I just don't want Jensen & Jared you to think I'm a pervert *grins*. But it's not like I'm ever gonna meet them time to come out and recommend one of my favorite stories:
    Do I Seem Bulletproof To You? by [livejournal.com profile] fleshflutter
    Pairing: Jared/Jensen (SuperNatural RPS)
    Rating: NC17
    A/N: AU, 96000 words (10 chapters + epilogue)
    Summary: When he can't find any acting work, Jared takes a job as driver and bodyguard to Jensen, who is an extremely expensive prostitute with a bad habit of attracting crazy people.

    I know.

    I have the actual book version of Tigers and Devils! It is, sadly, not yet unpacked, but once it is we should totally discuss :D!

    How was the Esther Verhoef story? I'm selling it in the store, 's why I ask ;). Never hurts to be able to give the customers an opinion!

    And kflrgh, that sounds devastatingly kinky good. Once I'm done with catching up on SPN, I'm gonna add it to my list because I'm already back in the mood to read about those boys.

    I love actual books soooo much. I bet I'll have my Tigers and Devils back before you unpack :-p

    You're selling that book? It was a freebie over here, because of ThrillerMonth in the bookstore, how much are you charging? As my ten word review said it's not my genre, but the story was somewhat chilling. Better than her other book De Perfecte Partner, which I found even more of a cliché. Her female characters are very much victims from the start and her male characters are all to be mistrusted. I wasn't impressed.

    I don't even watch SPN (What?) I've read this (long!) story three times already; it has an adorable naieve Jared (oh, he knows what's going on, but still) and a bitter and jaded Jensen, my favorite combination.
