I am one of those types that reads a lot of books about how to make love work, which probably outs me as someone who never seems to get it right. Well, "right" is very subjective. I think I've got it right, in some ways. I'm learning that my approach to love is that of an existentialist battling cultural norms that were pounded into my psyche as a young girl. Time to break down these walls!
Anyways, I want to make a book list of relationship books that I read and liked.
1. What French Women Know by Debra Ollivier- Simply a fantastic book by a brilliant writer. It's a must read.
2. Why Men Marry Bitches by Sherry Argov - I have some good and bad conclusions about this one, but it's still a page turner and worth the read, if you're looking for advice that has an edge.
3. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray - Yes, a classic. It's written like children will be reading it, but let's face it. We're children. Many of us, when it comes to romance, need to start with training wheels. The book is culturally specific in some ways, but there are good points that may be universally applied.
Oh, that's it for now. Most relationship books just look so...square.
