I nominate Romeo And Juliet.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Hey I have that one!!!Originally Posted by Scheherazade
Can I nominate Absolom Absolom? Is that a love story? ( I just bought it) Or I am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe? (Shopping Spree, I couldn't decide)
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
I haven't read either of them but I got the impression (from the amazon synopsis) that they may not be classified as 'love' stories...
But you can still vote for Lolita???

I think you're right. I like both nominations so far....I haven't read either of them but I got the impression (from the amazon synopsis) that they may not be classified as 'love' stories...

How about A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway? That is a love story with a realistic ending.
byucoughs, we are already reading that
Fine I propose a nice SHORT story by E. P. Roe (any of them really)
Or one by L. M Alcott?? What was it called A modern cinderella?
Or lets see hummmmmmmm The day boy and the night girl by George macdonald?
I thought of another one but somehow it slipped my mind wqhile I was typing.
Anyway you get the drift Im not nominating anything Im just suggesting SHORT stories
hint! hint! hint!
;D
Oh Or if it really has to be longer Booth Tarkington wrote some lovley books "The Flirt" I excantly really rember "Alice Adams" (but it did win some award or other) its been that long sionce I read them oh and the cannan one.
Of course we might just drop all of these and go to your local library walk into the romace section close your eyes and stick out a hand, They are all pretty much the same anyway.
Oh or we could do an Austen?
Ohh or Charles Reade, or even Pamela , by samuel richardson.
OR cant we read an adapted fairy tale? Im thinking Robin mckinley
(ok ok I know Ive nominated nothing sorry scher)

I vote for Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra". Absolom Absolom is not a love story, nor is it a week's read.

The gift of the magi written by o.henry.
I realize it is terribly short, but oh the meaning and love, the sacrifice and honor.
if not then I humbly ask that we read Virgil's choice.
Lolita? For St V Day? I'm sure it's a good novel (I haven't read it) but its supposed to be physical attraction (I wouldn't call it love, others perhaps might) between a middle aged man and a twelve year old girl.

Hi Virgil, Romeo And Juliet - A Perfect Love Story
You can vote for it.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Well i know it opens a whole new world of options ... what about poems? Can I nominate any?
Irish poets, learn your trade!

Hi Irish, I don't think so that we can nominate poems in Book Forum Club but you can surely nominate a poem on Poems, Poets and Poetry Forum.
