The History of Love: A Novel

First to recommend

Description

The History of Love spans of period of over 60 years and takes readers from Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe to present day Brighton Beach. At the center of each main character's psyche is the issue of loneliness, and the need to fill a void left empty by lost love.

She may not have the same widespread effect as Oprah, but you can bet your Cosmo and Manolos that every chick is going to be reading The History of Love since Sarah Jessica Parker has been seen carrying it around. (via People)

Trading Up

First to recommend

Description

A little light reading for the beach. And the bleached. Courtney Love is reading Candace Bushnell's Trading Up.

Janey never crosses the line into actual hookerdom, but she does sleep with extremely wealthy men in the hopes they'll improve her status, her financial situation, or her lifestyle.

Is Courtney reading this as a self-help book? (via People)

The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God

First to recommend

Description

Kirsten Dunst is reading this book this summer, in which Sagan asks why, if God created the universe, he left the evidence so scant. He might have embedded Maxwell’s equations in Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Ten Commandments might have been engraved on the moon. "Or why not a hundred-kilometer crucifix in Earth orbit?… Why should God be so clear in the Bible and so obscure in the world?" He laments what he calls a "retreat from Copernicus," a loss of nerve, an emotional regression to the idea that humanity must occupy center stage. Both Gingerich and Collins, along with most every reconciler of science and religion, invoke the anthropic principle: that the values of certain physical constants such as the charge of the electron appear to be "fine-tuned" to produce a universe hospitable to the rise of conscious, worshipful life. But the universe is not all that hospitable-try leaving Earth without a space suit. Life took billions of years to take root on this planet, and it is an open question whether it made it anywhere else. To us carboniferous creatures, the dials may seem miraculously tweaked, but different physical laws might have led to universes harboring equally awe-filled forms of energy, cooking up anthropic arguments of their own.

Wow, didn't know Mrs, Spiderman was that deep. (via People)
