In case this one hasn't come across your radar yet, Diane Ackerman's One Hundred Names for Love has been making an incredible splash (including--but hardly limited to--an incredibly warm interview on NPR's The Diane Rehm Show). On the off chance that neither that or the plethora of great reviews has piqued your interest, check out this accolade, from Abraham Verghese (of Cutting for Stone fame): This book has done what no other has for me in recent years: it has renewed my faith in the redemptive power of love, the need to give and get it unstintingly, to hold nothing back, settle for nothing less, because when flesh and being and even life fall away, love endures. This book is proof.
