Love Messages
Here are some love messages that you can send to your beloved in a valentine e-card or even as a simple love note along with a gift.
You don't have to love in words; even through the silences love is always heard. I Love You Honey!
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched but are felt in the heart.
If you're going my way, I'll walk with you.
No man is worth your tears and the only one who is will never make you cry.
You can fall from the sky.
You can fall from a tree.
But the best way to fall.
Is in love with me.
Last night I looked up at the stars and matched each one with a reason why I love you I was doing great, but then I ran out of stars.
I love you not only because of who you are but also because of who I am when I'm with you.
They say you only fall in love once, it can't be true. Every time I look at you, I fall in love all over again.
Loving you is like breathing. How can I stop?
Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control.
Loved you yesterday, love you still, always have, always will.
Crushes are like the wind, they come and go. My love for you is like a mountain; it's here to stay.
There are only two times that I want to be with you... Now and Forever.
Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for. So wait for me, I'll be right back.
Tonight I ask the stars above.
How I'll ever win your love.
What do I do.
What do I say.
To turn your angel eyes my way?
The shortest word for me is "I"
The sweetest word for me is "love"
The only word for me is "you!"
The way you look into my eyes
It scares me
The way you say "I love you"
It scares me
The way you know just what to say
It scares me
The ways you scare me
I love it
Miss You Messages
Are you lonely this Valentine? Then bring your sweetheart closer with these romance filled miss you messages.
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. Missing You badly.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Miss You
Loving someone isn't when you picture yourself with them, it's realizing that you can't live without them.
You know you're in love when you think about someone more times in a day than you think about yourself. I Miss You
Wanted by many
Taken by none
Talking to some
But waiting for one
I Miss You
Roses are Red
Violets are blue
I am away
But still thinking of you.

The Cellist of SarajevoSteven Galloway
Snipers in the hills overlook half the intersections in Sarajevo. In the streets below, two inhabitants, Dragan and Kenan, trapped, like all their neighbours, in the city, strive to go about their daily lives, trying to second guess when and where the next bullet will strike. One man, a cellist, defies this game of 'Sarajevo Roulette': in memory of the city's dead, for 22 consecutive days, he becomes a sitting target as he plays Albinoni's 'Adagio' in the street outside his building. Unbeknown to him, one young woman watches his performances with unflinching attention. Tense and heart-wrenching to its last page, The Cellist of Sarajevo shows how life under siege creates agonizing and almost impossible choices.
The children of Innertown exist in a state of suspended terror. Every year or so, a boy from their school disappears, vanishing into the wasteland of the old chemical plant. The town policeman, Morrison, was involved in the cover-up of one boy's murder, and he believes all the boys have been killed. In their fear and frustration, the local boys turn on Rivers, a sad fantasist and suspected paedophile living alone at the edge of the wasteland... A terrifying exploration of loss and the violence that pools under the surface of the everyday, this is an exquisitely written, darkly imagined novel by one of our greatest contemporary writers.

100 Colpi Di Spazzola Prima Di Andare A Dormire has been a big success in Italy, both because of its shocking story and the fact that it purports to be based on real events. It is the diary of a sixteen year old Sicilian girl, looking for a profound and complete love, but ending up in the often violent hands of both men and women, without ever understanding why such violence is done to her body. Love remains beyond her reach, with even those she ends up forming attachments to interested only in her youth and beauty. A literary and erotic read, this diary takes us inside the mind of a young girl who looks for love in others but can only find it inside herself.
Now a major movie by Gabriele Salvatores, this is definitely one of the best new Italian books of the last few years. It is the story of Michele, a child who meets another child, a prisoner in a hole in the ground. Through this meeting, he deals with his own fears, the good and evil around him, even in his own family. Ammaniti is able to write books which make you forget time is passing by. He is a real Italian talent, not to be underestimated.
Originally written in French, this comic-strip memoir tells the moving childhood of the author in Tehran during the revolution. Marjane Satrapi brings both humor and to this great masterpiece and her illustrations are wonderful. Raw, honest and passionate. Contains vols 1 and 2 from the original French4-volume edition.
With rum, music and sex, the Cuban Pedro Juan Gutierrez drags us with him into this trilogy - an autobiography in three parts, full of hunger, politics, eroticism, disillusion and good humor. Radical and fascinating prose and tropical exuberance produce crude antiheroes made revolutionary by the tropics and the dark marginality of those contradictory times. A sort of Caribbean Bukowsi or Cuban Henry Miller, writing a book the reader can almost taste.Also available: Contains vols 3 and 4 from the original French edition.
