DE/EN*; lots of fanfiction, some books and sheet music.

Experimenting with Bookwyrm, to get away from Goodreads and a manually kept text file with things I read.

[DE] Abruptes Ende, ohne daß es für den Protagonisten weniger dorky wird. Referenziert viel zu viel US-amerikanische Kultur, als daß man es deutschen Jugendlichen empfehlen könnte… eher was für NT, die… alternativ denkende Menschen verstehen wollen, auf eine lustige Art und Weise. Wird aber IMHO schnell alt.

[EN] Abrupt ending without things getting less dorky for the protagonist. References way too much US-american culture for me to recommend it to German youths (I did read the German translation)… probably more for NT who want to understand… differently thinking people, in a funny manner. Jokes are getting old rather quickly.
