This will be the next book I read, after I finish reading Narcissistic Lovers for the 2nd time (i'm making notes this time around). It's something I've recently discovered I have lived with for 20 years.<br /><br />Addicted to Love--kind of related to the Narcissism subject in that "victims" (I prefer the word survivor) tend to be or have co dependent tendencies, which can manifest as an addiction<br /><br />The 5 Love Languages--this is by Gary Chapman, a well known relationship author/speaker...I believe this book is to help men/women learn the most effective way to communicate with each other. I bought this last year in my efforts to save my marriage (before I discovered how hopeless that was due to the suspected Narcissism). Haven't read it...not sure when i will.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069277636441100990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984186085108332569.post-8774181078866844332011-04-13T11:17:48.158+08:002011-04-13T11:17:48.158+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069277636441100990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984186085108332569.post-51177246715029762932011-04-13T10:43:23.030+08:002011-04-13T10:43:23.030+08:00The Big Crunch was a great book. Pete Hautman'...The Big Crunch was a great book. Pete Hautman's voice for both June and Wes are really poignant and feel like real teenagers.<br /><br />David Levithan is his editor, and when he recommended the book on his blog, I knew I had to read it.<br /><br />Speaking of David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary is beautiful. The actual story is a little jarred but the lyrical definitions are amazing.Elisquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692575346649160572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984186085108332569.post-72396217568624960482011-04-13T05:52:00.894+08:002011-04-13T05:52:00.894+08:00Thanks for visiting my blog...which titles were yo...Thanks for visiting my blog...which titles were you curious about?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069277636441100990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984186085108332569.post-49954807974654051562011-04-12T13:26:43.267+08:002011-04-12T13:26:43.267+08:00some of those look interesting!
