The Book Of Love

Harry Potter. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The Catcher in the Rye. Romeo and Juliet. The Time Traveler's Wife. Charlotte's Web. Moby Dick. Pride and Prejudice. The Giving Tree. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The Lord of the Rings. Les Misérables. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The Hobbit. The Diary of Anne Frank. A Tale of Two Cities. Twilight. Catch-22. Gone with the Wind. To Kill a Mockingbird. My Sister's Keeper.

My fingers glided over the spines of those books, but I hadn't chosen any of them to read. No, I had left Cactus Book Shop and crossed South Chadbourne Street with something much better than a book.
