On Love

I was leant this book by my wonderful, brilliant friend Lauren (whose only real shortcoming is that she has spent almost three years refusing to read The Amazing Adventures Of Kavelier & Clay) after a break-up. It's smart, insightful, and loaded with all sorts of “oh duh! I do that!” moments. It is the fictional recounting of a relationship, from start to finish, as looked at through a philosopher's eyes. When friends have relationship woes, I usually pick them up a copy. Used to loan mine out, but someone decided to write in it (!), so I don't do that anymore.

Bottom line: a must read for anyone who has ever been in love, like, or had just a little crush. Yes, that was a Jennifer Paige reference.
