Who was it that said love and death were the only things worth writing about? While stories about death might be a bit morose for a Saturday night, love rather fits into the whole Valentine's Day theme that’s been popping up—for better or for worse— in retail stores lately.

Don’t bother fighting it; there’s no use. Go ahead and order that carton of chocolate-covered strawberries and while you’re at it, stop by BookPeople tonight to hear author Dave Isay read from his latest book All There Is: Love Stories from StoryCorps.

StoryCorps is a pretty cool organization whose mission is to give everyone the chance to share stories from their lives—i.e. real stories from real people—for an oral history project archiving thousands of diverse American voices. Isay has collected the best of StoryCorps’ stories about love and marriage for his latest book. Who knew you were such a sucker for romance? Perhaps you’ll even be inspired to share a love story of your own.
