Pre-Valentine's Day

NYMag's new site The Strategist just posted a list (charmingly) titled "12 Romantic Books That Won't Make You Gag". I'm not, you know, a six-year-old boy, so romance doesn't actually disgust me, but whatever. They have some good picks on there! (They have some weird picks, too, including a book described as "dreary and sad and lonely and beautiful and nostalgic", but to each their own.)
