(Anti) Valentines Day Reads

I was wondering what to write about today and figured I couldn't go wrong with Valentines Day reads.  But then I started my search and came across several "good reads for people who don't care about Valentines Day" articles.  Sold.  This is just too good to pass up.

The first article that jumped out at me is 3 Biting Books for Those Bitter on Valentine's Day from NPR.  The NPR site has also collected several other articles about books for people who are sick of Valentine's Day.  This is an eclectic little list of anti-romance books, including:

Ladies' Man by Richard Price

Cassandra at the Wedding by Dorothy Baker

Miss Lonelyhearts & the Day of the Locust by Nathanael West

Booklist Online has a great post about anti-Valentine's Day reads, too.  This one has collected a few more titles than NPR, including:

Gone Baby Gone by Dennis Lehane

Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp

Heartsick by Chelsea Cain

Going Down by Jennifer Belle
