Teenage Life Quotes

What books are on your night stand? There are piles of books that I read often, the classics. But please forgive me — I am in the midst of writing a book and I can only give you brief responses. Can a great book be badly written? What other criteria can overcome bad prose? No. A great book must have an unforgettable style, an unforgettable music. What books would you say have provided your best reading experience? There are many. Among them: Stendhal, Dickens, Balzac, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Melville — all the great writers of the 19th century.

The two started working together 25 years ago when Birnbaum came to Rochester for a postdoctoral fellowship in 1998–99. They have collaborated since on several notable studies on the dynamics of human sexual attraction. The beneficial effects of putting yourself in someone else's shoes are well kn...
