I finally finished Kant's Critique of Pure Reason the other day. Kant is my co-pilot.
Finally finished Sartre's Nausea. I'd have to say I found it to be a mixed blessing. I really enjoyed both the beginning and ending of the book but there was a long middle stretch that I found grew quite monotonous, repetitive and felt ultimately superfluous. I liked it for the first 60 pages or so up through the first dissipation of the nausea (jazz/ragtime record)... then it got tedious... then I started liking it again from the tree/root thought sequence up through to the end.
Bought Irvine Welsh's Glue for $5...I guess that will be the next novel I read after finishing a couple of academic texts.
Finished Beloved. Wonderful book. Fizzled a bit in the end, but still a wonderful read. Definitely worthy of its reputation.

Plastic surgery for the intellectual. They stole my idea!
Wow... frontin' made easy.
All this talk of Graham Greene made me go with The End of the Affair as my next novel.
I've only seen the film but at least Wyler's Wuthering Heights seems pretty obviously romantic to me.
I see Wuthering Heights being about obsession and vengeance. The emotions are powerful, but they're not actually very loving.
I'm not sure how to answer your question, because romance can be lots of different things. For this instance, though, I will narrow it to one point: Romance is caring about someone else more than yourself.
[]That qualifies as caring about someone else more than yourself.
Picked up Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain. Will begin shortly.
Finished The End of the Affair and loved it. Definitely among Greene's best work. I'm now about 100 pages into The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.
