The History Of Love

"Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering."

Buy it. Read it. Love it.
Seriously. I think it falls just below A Heart-Breaking Work of Staggering Genius as my favorite book ever.

"She was gone, and all that was left was the space where you'd grown around her, like a tree grows around a fence."

Seriously.

FABULOUS!!!! how contageous was the ending?!! I think that was the fastest page flipping i've ever done to finish a book (HP was pretty fast too though).
GLAD YOU LOVED IT AND YOU're SPREADING IT!

at the library today and this was the first book i recognized so i grabbed it.
now i'm taking a risk here, because this may not be the typical book i would read, but i'll let you know...

fyi - i'm a slow reader so hopefully i'll be able to give you an update before the end of the summer
