In addition to what I said about my subway reading yesterday, I am now including a new book by my friend Susan Shapiro. Secrets of a Fix-up Fanatic: How to Meet & Marry Your Match doesn't come out till 12/26/06; however, I've got a bound galley. Now, yes, I'm biased--I've known Sue for over 20 years--but this book is just smashing. Sue is such a sharp writer. Her new book is technically a self-help book, but it is so infused with her wit and candor and solid advice that the other self-help books should feel embarrassed to sit on the shelf with it come December. True, this book strongly resonates for me (I am two signatures on a document away from getting divorced and when I get myself together more I will want a significant other in my life again), but it is a thoughtful enough commentary on relationships today that I would enjoy reading it even if I was in an intact relationship. I wish I'd read it before I got married; things might've gone better.
