Happy Valentine's Day, book-loving friends! Let's talk love stories, however you define it. What's your favorite? Or if you're bad at favorites (me), what's your most recent favorite?

Mine is The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith. This quote, for one thing: "I feel I am in love with you...and it should be spring. I want the sun throbbing on my head like chords of music. I think of a sun like Beethoven, a wind like Debussy, and birdcalls like Stravinsky. But the tempo is all mine."

But also it's a story about desperation and how helpless we are in the face of love. I can totally relate to the hypervigilance and fear that can get tangled up in very strong feelings, and uncertainty about your place in someone else's life.
