Top 3 picks:
1. Alain de Botton / Essays in Love / $29.50
Karen & Kenny: It is one of the “perfect books” that dissects love in an unbiased & clinical manner. From the blossoming of a new-found romance to the wretchedness of a breakup, Botton will systemically tell you what are the cause & effects of each stage of love without sounding like a self-help book.
2. Henry Miller / Quiet Days in Clichy / $28.50
Karen & Kenny: This book offers an insight of the great writer, Miller, who has experienced love in all its forms from his salad days, his mid-life crisis days, and finally to his mellowed days.

3. Marguerite Duras / The Lover / $21.50
Karen & Kenny: This one details the experiences of a young girl who is just reaching puberty. She meets her first love and reveals how naive and dangerous love can really be.
