Eat, Pray, Read

Last week, we asked GalleyCat readers: What book torched your romance? You bombarded our inbox with tales of burnt-out love and passionate literary opinions.

A few books even drove readers to divorce, as this unhappy reader can attest: “I worked while my first husband spent six years in grad school earning a Ph.D. in psychology. The day he brought home a copy of Wayne Dyer’s YOUR ERRONEOUS ZONES and told me I needed to read it, I knew the flame was out. We were divorced within a year,” she wrote.

Due to GalleyCat’s chronic inability to perform simple mathematical functions, there are still a few books leftover from that original contest. So today, we pose a new, happier question: What book ignited your love for reading?

Email GalleyCat your answer and your address, and we’ll send a few lucky readers a free copy of An Arsonist’s Guide to Writers’ Homes in New England, compliments of Algonquin Books.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
