But as it turns out, the more options we have, the more difficult attaining romantic bliss becomes. We wonder: Should we put all our energy into online dating, or hang out in bars to find someone new? Should we settle for a friendship-with-benefits, or refuse to stop looking until we happen upon true love? And if we do manage to achieve the impossible and find a perfect match--soul mate, sexual dynamo, and best buddy all in one--how can we beat the relationship doldrums when they come, as they're bound to in this hyperactive society? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn our quest to reach romantic nirvana, we turn to self-help manuals, magazines, talk shows, friends, relatives, and shrinks. But we've overlooked the true font of wisdom: the timeless stories written by great novelists. That's where \u003ci\u003eMuch Ado About Loving \u003c\/i\u003ecomes in. In its pages, two book lovers who are also advice columnists--Maura Kelly and Jack Murnighan--relay the lessons in life and love that they've learned from reading more classic novels than your English teacher, while having far more romantic conundrums than all of Jane Austen's characters combined. They've done the heavy reading--and the recovering from heartbreak--for you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow all you need is this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Murnighan,Maura Kelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.58w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451621259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Murnighan\u003c\/b\u003e has a Ph.D. in medieval and renaissance literature from Duke University.
