If you were to write your own "Book of Love" regarding what you envision love to be, what would you call it and what would the chapter titles be?

As a more fun alternative, if you were to write your own "Book of Substitutes" regarding what you put in the place of missing love in your life, what would you call it and what would the chapter titles be?


For those of you who know me, this thread is meant to be humorous. For those of you who don't know me, I feel sorry for you!!!


My own Book of Substitutes would be called.......

"Love Hurts, Chocolate Heals"

Subtitle - Cocoa Beans Are The Balm of the Solitary Soul

Chapter 1 - Love Is Temporary, But Fudge Is Forever

Chapter 2 - Everything I Do, I Do It For Cake (Why Bryan Adams Got It Wrong)

Chapter 3 - Choose Tummy Aches, Not Heart Aches

Well, you sure got the ball rolling to yet another epic thread / fun house / crazy house / epic crazy fun house, Descyple XD

Hmm...my Book of Substitutes would be called...

"Get Lost in Tamriel, not in Love"

Subtitle: Why it's more fun breaking dragon skulls than breaking hearts (specially yours)

Chapter 1: Finding the right outfit (Heavy vs. Light armor, and why "pretty in pink" is not a good option)

Chapter 2: Searching for the One (Why looks mean nothing compared to the potential to power up a soul gem)

Chapter 3: Sweet Dreams (Why resting and levelling gives more satisfaction than dreaming romantic nonsense)

Ah yes, the sweet call of battle from "The Elder Scrolls". A fine choice for a substitute, AzureAfire. Please let me know when your book will be coming out (and please autograph my copy with the name Sydalka Velwyr).

DuchessAimee, I would be very interested in reading your book, but I might skip chapter three (it just sounds scary!!!).

Oh gosh my book of substitutes would be terribly nerdy, philosophical, and boring.

"Alternatives to Love"
Ch. 1: "The Love-Shaped Hole" (musings on the feelings of being loved, and what would be needed to satisfy it to any degree.)
Ch. 2: "God"
Ch. 3: "Friendships"
Ch. 4: "Hobbies"
Ch. 5: "Pets"
Ch. 6: "Setting and Achieving Goals"
Ch. 7: "The Loneliest Hours"
Ch. 8: "Later Years"
Ch. 9: "Leaving Something Behind"
Appendix A: Bibliography

My book of love would probably be called "Boring ol' Love" and have a pragmatic approach to love and things therein.

How did I miss this thread?!

I'm not sure how to answer this thread about myself. I think I will end up listing off pseudo 'self-help' books in general. Much like my 'Threads You Will Never See In The Singles Forum' thread. I think I am just confused :/
