my roommate was interested in a young man in her English-literature class, but she was too shy to let him know. one day she overheard him say he was on his way to the library for a certain book. she rushed to the library, found the book and stuck in it a letter from her mother.
"why would he want to read a letter from your mother?" i asked.

the next day he appeared with the letter and asked my roommate out on a date. "couldn't fail," she later told me. "the book was great expectations.
