We are, I regret to inform you, in the middle of Turkey Drop season. What's the Turkey Drop? Some call it the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when--under the influence of drunk relatives, religious debates, binge eating, gift-giving-- break-ups are at a peak. If you, or a loved one, have been discarded this holiday season, take solace in this book. Andrew Shaffer's Great Philosophers Who Failed at Love is the perfect balm for feelings of romantic alienation, unrequited love, and whatever other terrible things you've done to lovers, flings, and/or spouses. Did you know that Ayn Rand's 'rational self interest' included an affair with a student 25 years her junior? Or that Rousseau enjoyed flashing women in dark alleyways? How about the fact that Nietzsche's infamous bout with syphilis was the result of doctor-mandated visits with prostitutes?
Sometimes, the best medicine is a bit of schadenfreude. So before you lose control over a plate of Christmas cookies, do take a peek at Great Philosophers Who Failed at Love.
This post has been somewhat of a revelation to me.

Proteus reminded me that a great library--of any size--will do that for people, no matter what canal you call home.
