from around (on love)

- the best dating advice ever, from John Waters, "If you go home with someone and they don't have books, don't fuck them."

- two amazingly sweet letters Johnny Cash wrote to his June.

- shop Book Stand's new section Love My Love. I'll take it all, I'm especially wanting the copies of Evergreen.

- what is love? Famous definitions from 200 years of Literary History. My favorite: "Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything." - Katherine Hepburn

- I listened to this story years ago on This American Life. Since then I haven't forgotten it, and for some reason think of it often and it always gives me goosebumps, yet another reminder about the power of love and fate. It's a love story 17 years in the making. 

- an amazing love letter from Eero Sarrinen to his wife Aline, I love how you can feel how much he admires and cherishes her.

- a beautiful vintage collection of valentine's from the New York Public Library.
