---------------------------- BC Prompt: What do you feel is the greatest love story in literature? How did the author hook you into the story? If you aren't into love stories, pick your genre and answer. That's a tall order! Only 'Romance' I read is the Argeneau vamps and that's paranormal awesomeness. I LOVE the dynamic between Kate Daniels and her lion shape shifter hubby, very realistic (as far as human relations go; magic, not so much). But both of those are set in fantastical worlds. First thing to pop in my mind and stick is the 'love' between a parent and child. Just recently listened to Precious by Sapphire; and for her to learn to love herself through loving her incest children...incredibly powerful. Hetero love, I just can't get away from Romeo & Juliet. I hate the whole suicide thing, but if you alter it and imagine them physically fighting for their rights and dying in battle; then it truly would be the greatest story. I'm not a Nicholas Sparks uber-fan so I don't believe it's the Notebook (great movie and premise [Alzheimer's SUX!] but I've heard news stories where one spouse has to give up their job AND donate a kidney to keep their lover alive, THAT'S romance). The Fault in Our Stars might be after Romeo and Jules, because they were so young...and they were obsessed with a book. ----------------------------------------- Random Notes "Note: Congratulations to [Link To User cinnamonfringe]..."
