    City Living – Shout-out to Boredom

    April 2, 2016
    by David Kleinsteuber, WB Column

      How can we appreciate the gift horse? If you are somewhat like me, large empty slots in your schedule often make you feel restless and guilty. The argument is as follows.

    The Success of The Bridge

    March 25, 2016
    by Judith Kroon, Reviews, WB Column

    Objectified Scotsmen and Hunky Gladiators, or on the Sexualisation of the Modern Man

    March 15, 2016
    by Books, Essay, Roos Gravemaker, WB Column

      One of the things that I like to show friends is the Tumblr page Wtf Bad Romance Covers which is filled with tacky and camp covers of Candlelight Novels. Every Thursday is “Objectified Scotsmen Thursday” and on this wonderful day the blog delights its followers with cheap covers with entertainingly awkwardly posing “Scottish” hunks,…
