But the world's best-known heroes and heroines didn't go through all their trials and tribulations for naught--and now, thanks to \u003ci\u003eMuch Ado About Loving\u003c\/i\u003e, we can learn from their foibles, misadventures, and eventual triumphs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Much as things have changed since the days when Jane Austen was writing, a lot about love has stayed the same. And so timeless literary classics contain many great lessons about romance that are as relevant today as they ever were. In this unique relationship guide full of humor and pathos, Maura Kelly and Jack Murnighan reflect on the renowned novels that have given them the most insight into their romantic lives. In chapters like \u003ci\u003eLightbulb in August: How to Have a Clue When He's Just Not That Into You\u003c\/i\u003e, they use Faulkner to discuss early warning signs a relationship isn't going to work out. In \u003ci\u003eInfinite Gesticulating: Why Do Men Talk So Much?\u003c\/i\u003e they cite David Foster Wallace as an example of the male propensity to bloviate, but also have some suggestions for how to deal with it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Witty, wise and well-read in equal measures, Kelly and Murnighan will appeal to lovers of Candace Bushnell as much as to hard-core literary types with their entertaining, erudite, and engaging style.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Free Press","offers":[{"title":"Much Ado about Loving: What Our Favorite Novels Can Teach You about Date Expectations, Not So-Great Gatsbys, and Love in the Time of Internet Personal | Jack Murnighan | Hardcover | 9781451621242 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks E 1766194","offer_id":49376801783960,"sku":"1766194","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61XXJEjmvbS.jpg?v=1783019368","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/much-ado-about-loving-what-our-favorite-novels-can-teach-you-about-date-expectations-not-so-great-gatsbys-and-love-in-the-time-of-internet-personal","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
