October 05, 2005: This book really helps you cope with being in an LDR. The love of my life is 300 miles away, and we need all the help we can get. Other books on this subject are dry and boring. This one's clever, funny, and informative and helps with how to spend your time apart as well as together. I got one for my LDP, too--hopefully he'll pull off some of the romantic gestures this book suggests. Maybe even a surprise visit!?
