So, after one and a half years absence i finished the rest of "The History of Love" whilst bathing tonight. Touching characters, nice play on many questions about writing and reality.
But i should -really- stop reading those kind of books, i`m just emotional enough to really enjoy them, and i can`t for the life of me think that romantic pinings of that sort in any way can be considered attractive by female members of the species. Do prove me wrong, by all means, otherwise i`m going to return to Tom Clancy.

I also read a short story from Munro`s "Runaway". Quite touching incisions of romantic tristesse there as well.

Which means i would`ve been a weeping willow tonight if it hadn`t been for an old scifi-collection called Antigrav. That kept my spirits up in between all of these rending romantic narrations.

The moral of the story. Be wary of stories of love, and keep science fiction and chocolate ice cream at hand for the really emotional parts.
