Read Hearts for your Sweet Heart

Last year, I offered a few book/music pairings for Valentine's Day.  In the spirit of love and the heart, here are a few readings you can add to your list:

• For those feeling cheeky:  "Valentine's Day" (poem) by William Shakespeare. [For a few moments I thought of including it here however I'd like to keep the site from showing up in at least a few of those searches]. Pair with a blood orange martini and Pearl Jam
• For the single or dating:  "The Gravitational Field" - Chapter 19 in Relativity by Albert Einstein. Pair with a G&T and Tony Bennett.
• For those who say the "L" word: Heavenly Date and Other Flirtations by Alexander McCall Smith.  Pair with a crisp white wine and Al Green.
• For those of you steamed by today's grammar errors:  "The Tractable Apostrophe" from Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss.  Pair with Lagavulin and a red pen.  [Music is a distraction from editing.]
• For the heart broken:  The Merck Manual of Medical Information.  Pair with anything really and avoid your iPod at all costs.

Hope a lovely Tuesday.
