the first book is going to be this one:
DANIEL GLATTAUER - GUT GEGEN NORDWIND / LOVE VIRTUALLY
(german and english versions)
about the book:
"It begins by chance: Leo receives emails in error from an unknown woman called Emmi. Being polite he replies, and Emmi writes back. A few brief exchanges are all it takes to spark a mutual interest in each other, and soon Emmi and Leo are sharing their innermost secrets and longings. The erotic tension simmers, and it seems only a matter of time before they will meet in person. But they keep putting off the moment - the prospect both excites and unsettles them. And after all, Emmi is happily married."

my thoughts:
I bought this book, toghether with some others, at the fleamarket. i had heard of it before, put it on my to-read list, but never felt like buying it first hand. it is a quick read (about 200 pages) and i would have probably read it in one go, but unfortunately didn't have the time. so, yes this book is quite good. i recommend it to everyone who is interested in the development of emotions and expectations that can grow in our modern world wide web generation where the internet has become incredibly indispensable. i quickly was able to identify myself with boths protagonists, because, yes, i've been there. twice. (sort of) in the end i felt quite unsatisfied, but in a good way. i wanted to know how will their lifes go on, so much about how captivating that story was written to me. and yes! today i saw, there is a sequel! i am excited to read that one!
