reading list

so right now i am reading EMMA. if you have ever read Jane Austen you know that it can be hard to get through.

i was telling my good friend Jess about (she is very in to books and all things cultural) how i feel like i'm cheating on Jane because i keep devouring trashy summer novels and can't finish Emma.
this was the convo that ensued:

6 word love stories

i got Six Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak edited by Smith Magazine from MF for valentines day. i had heard about it on NPR right before and just finished reading all of them.

it is inspired by Ernest Hemmingway's short story "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn" heartbreaking

but the book is so good, you can find stories for any mood. some our sad, some funny, and some so inspiring.

some of my fav's are:

" Now married, kissing with eyes open" -Elissa Schappell
" He makes me laugh every day" -Detta Owens
" I want to flip my claddagh" -Joann Wang**
"Love, unreturned is still worth feeling" -Lisa Stanton
"Heartbroken, untill the bitch finally died" -Christopher Moore

MLF and i have been making our own. you should try it!

**a claddah is an irish symbol warn one way to show your heart is taken and another to show it is available
