So February valentines day is here. February is here The month of Love and friendship. Or just the month of commercialized gift giving =P what ever you want to call it. I have decided to honer this month by reading romantic tales.

It's amazing how most of our culture comes from the Romans and the Greeks.
Then later on I think its only right to read a little Shakespeare, after all who better to demonstrate a little romance then the prince of words himself.
