“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more”.
~~ Erica Jong in How to Save Your Own Life (1977)

Erica Jong taught me a few things as a young man. I fondly recall finding a corner in the library with my first girlfriend and reading to her softly from Erica Jong books. She would always wear a skirt and no undies. Ah, the joys of youth.

I’m sure Erica Jong got lots of blessings from lots of couples
I should convey this subtly to my current one.. Maybe forward him this post 
Sadly, None of my boyfriends was too much into reading.. Nobody read to me
