Love Illuminated: Exploring Life’s Most Mystifying Subject (with the Help of 50,000 Strangers) by Daniel Jones. "Jones has edited the wildly popular ‘Modern Love’ column in the New York Times for ten years. His job is sifting through the thousands of submissions that arrive around the clock (as he puts it, ‘pouring into my laptop, dribbling out of my printer and spilling across the tables of my office and home.’) The book is Jones's attempt to synthesize the lessons he's learned about the human heart. It's an easy read -- you'll conquer it in a single afternoon on the beach -- and maybe emerge with new insight into your own marriage or other relationships.
