Love Is Strange, Part 1
"Who Needs Love?" The sign stopped me in my tracks. Professionally printed. Had that "corporate" look. But there it was, perched above a display of paperbacks, bearing such titles as Love Will Tear Us Apart, Ex & the Single Girl, Diary of a Married Call Girl, It's Never Too Late to Be a Bridesmaid, Happiness Sold Separately, Cheating at Solitaire and Heathen Girls. Double take. Sure I've heard some "woe is me, all the good men are dead or married, and they're not so hot either" talk on Dr. Phil or in movies. But never thought of "Who Needs Love?" as a corporately-identified genre. Till now.
