    Love to Read? Time to Hire a Book Curator.0

    “A home without books is a body without soul.” This Pinterest-ready quote is attributed – somewhat dubiously – to ancient Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero.

    Love at First Sight: Is it Real?0

    For a lecture course I teach at Brown University called “Love Stories,” we begin at the beginning, with love at first sight.   To its detractors, love at first sight must be an illusion – the wrong term for what is simply infatuation, or a way to sugarcoat lust. Buy into it, they say, and
