The "Good Reads" panel had a brief sidebar about couples who love books -- and the potential for clashes therein. Soon after, I got an e-mail from a reader who mentioned how a book played a role in his own courtship. But in the spirit of the holiday, today I'm soliciting your tales of how books helped you find your loved one. I don't necessarily want to hear about how "The Game" worked for you on your last visit to Ghostbar. I was thinking of something perhaps more permanent than one night. A book figures prominently in your Humble Books Editor's courtship of Mrs. Humble Books Editor. At least, we think it was the book that caught her eye that day 22 years ago in the dorm common area -- we know it wasn't my fashion sense. (Because unlike great literature, cutoffs and "Garfield" T-shirts do actually go out of style.) Your own story -- and certainly, your own book -- is certainly much more sophisticated and interesting. |
