I love my daily dose of book talk courtesy of Shelf Awareness. Not only do I get offers of Advance Readers Copies (ARCs), the dates of all the new releases, and fun vocab words, now I can get relationship advice.
This morning this little ditty was included as part of the e-mail. I think Kim really has said what many of us readers are thinking:
Books Rather Than Men: A More Perfect Relationship
"Relationships with books actually have some pretty compelling advantages over relationships with men. With books, it's always your choice if the liaison ends prematurely. You don't have to worry about the awkwardness of trying to avoid your discarded book should you bump into it in the grocery store. You can tell it, "It's not you, it's me" or even "You know, it actually is you" without hurting its feelings. It will also never insist on an exclusive relationship, and no one will think ill of you if you love more than one. You can take one to bed with you the very first night you bring it home without your mother blinking an eye."
--Kim Kovacs on the BookBrowse blog.
Plus you can share books. Sharing men ... not such a good idea.
