Six-Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak: By Writers Famous and Obscure by Larry Smith, Rachel Fershleiser

From Barnes & Noble

In 2008, the editors of Smith Magazine asked dozens of writers "famous and obscure" to compose six-word memoirs. The resulting book, Not Quite What I Was Planning, became a New York Times bestseller. Now the inquisitive editors are back, armed with a new question. They wanted wordsmiths, old and new, to capture the essence of romance in half a dozen words. This is the result. If you can peruse this book with another person in the room without reading aloud from it, you probably have a deeply seated problem.
