Love in the Time of FB

 To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why no one else's heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.

 Facebook may not have the physical maladies of the disease, but the emotional rollercoaster you get from FB's TMI (too much information) might just be more devastating for the modern woman (or man.) But of course it would be a disservice to Cholera to compare facebook to its 18th century drama.

I'm not sure if I have a point. But if ever I have one, it is this: Love is timeless. So is love lost. So are broken hearts.

Those inlove are often too giddy to read books. But if you're not among the giddy ones, here are some good reads for you and your kleenex :) For dads and daughters , for women , if you wanna live life like an adventure: Listen to this book
