Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, Ben Schrank’s Love Is a Canoe is a smart, funny, romantic, and hugely satisfying novel about the fragility of human relationships and a heartwarming reminder of what it really means to be good to those we love. The author of a classic self-help guide to love and relationships, Peter Herman has won the hearts of romantics and cynics alike. But decades have passed since Marriage Is a Canoe was published and a recently widowed Peter begins to question his own advice. Much to his chagrin, he receives a call from Stella Petrovic, an ambitious young editor in New York City who forces him to reconsider his life’s work, not to mention the full force of his delusions. The book’s fiftieth anniversary is approaching, and Petrovic has devised a contest to promote the new edition. The prize? The chance for the winning couple—a pair of outwardly happy Brooklynites named Emily and Eli—to save their relationship by spending a weekend with the reclusive author.

Download or read book Never Kiss a Man in a Canoe written by Tanith Carey and published by Boxtree. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To a young woman wishing to join a male friend on a canoeing trip, 1895: 'It surprises us to find that a girl sufficiently educated to write and spell well should be so deplorably ignorant of the common rules of society to think that she may go out alone with a young man in his canoe.' To a man concerned about whether cycling is a sin, 1885: 'If it is the only means of reaching the church on Sunday it may be excusable. On the other hand, if walking or riding in the usual way is discarded for the sake of the exercise or exhilaration bicycle riding affords, it is clearly wrong.' Having trawled the archives of magazines and newspapers, many long-forgotten, author Tanith Carey has gathered together this fascinating collection of advice from agony aunts' columns through the years, creating this wonderfully nostalgic look back to a simpler, more innocent time when agony aunts played a crucial role in educating the masses about love, sex and relationships. The examples included cover every aspect of life, from courtship, the battle of the sexes, marriage and sex to manners, looks, teenage angst and parenthood. Full of shocking - and often very funny - replies that give a clear insight into how dramatically social attitudes have - thankfully - changed through the ages, and riddled with un-PC bluntness, The Agony Aunts' Book of Bad Advice is a vivid and fascinating journey into our social past.
