So I'm reading The History of Love which is a beautiful book full of little lines and passages that makes a person sigh and then run on over to the computer to type them in to share them so others will enjoy them too. But, totally broke my heart that no one has done any 'sharing' this september. S ...

#157.. I read a James Patterson novel while on vacation and he plugs History of Love in his novel Double Cross. He mentions that the semi-retired detective in the novel is reading that book.

#157 - Oh, I loved The History of Love - glad you're enjoying it!

reading The History of Love and its great so far, sometimes you open a book and you know right away from the way the author writes that you'll really enjoy it. This is one of those for me!

18. The History of Love by Nicole Krauss I just finished it and I don't exactly know how I feel about it. Reading it made my head hurt. Heartbreaking to say the least.

24. The History of Love by Nicola Krauss (book club) - this was an initially confusing but ultimately very enjoyable book once all the strands started to come together. Much better than the title and cover had led me to expect. 25. Never let me go by Kazuo Ishiguro (birthday present) - his ...

26. The History of Love - This is a beautiful book that I suspect I would have enjoyed more had I read it before The World to Come. There were many similarities between them, and I only read them a couple months apart. I rather wish I'd read this one first.

I loved The History of Love. The voice of the main character, and the character himself, was so captivating. What did you think of him?

#111 suesche, I really liked The History of Love. Some members of my book club complained that it was hard to follow, as the story shifts between characters, but there are small little pictures at the beginning of chapters. Once you figure out whose they are, you'll know who's narrating.

... I did not enjoy it much, and it was almost journalistic in style, but she is talented and loads of people loved it. The History of Love is fun to read: anyway I really enjoyed it - even if it does border on chick lit. Kate Grenville would be my other nudge - I think she is a really ...

#96. I adored The History of Love! How boring it would be if all books just told their stories from point A to point Z. How delicious to unravel connections, make discoveries, to slowly weave together the stories of seemingly unconnected people. And the form this takes can be art. IMHO.
