This is a very entertaining and thought provoking book. Perfect for when you do not have alot of time to devote to reading, but still want to read something stimulating. I read it while recuperating. It was great because I did not have the energy to concentrate for long periods.
SMITH Magazine used Ernest Hemingway's famous six-word story ("For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.") as a rallying cry for people to submit six-word memoirs of their lives and, from those, came the NYT bestseller /Not Quite What I Was Expecting/. Now they've collected stories of love and heartbreak, told six words at a time. From the modern "If I get Chlamydia, blame MySpace," the painful "Inevitably, his obituary didn't mention me," and the romantic "At twelve found soul mate, still together," these brief flashes of other people's relationships, good or bad, may raise more questions than answers. But, as with Hemingway's, that's the point. More than 200 quick, quotable stories. The kind you read out loud to your spouse while lying in bed or leave lying about the house for guests to browse.
The new memoirs in the Love and Heartbreak edition are very entertaining. For the most part they are witty or emotional, but not super cheesy, as you might expect from a love-themed book.
I'm not famous and I'm obscure. However, I am a proud contributor to this wonderful, little, book. It's filled with, serious, funny, sad, frustrating, and clever, "Six Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak." It's a great book, and definitely a conversation starter. You can enjoy it yourself, or read it out loud. Pretty soon you'll be thinking of your own tales of love.
the smith mag folks did it again! the six-word format on love and heartbreak is every bit as smart and fresh as the first. the stories are uncannily moving, profound, and funny. i buy these books 10 at a time. totally original, cheap and fun dinner party presents. we pass them around and read the memoirs. addictive.
