| Author | David Hume |
| ISBN | 1420926993 |
I had seen so many references to Hume's Enquiry that I almost thought I had read it; but, when I actually got around to opening the book, I found as usual that things were not quite as I had imagined.

Panting and misspelled, Love in Excess is easy to roll your eyes at. But I think it deserves more. It was a blockbuster smash when it was published in 1720, as popular as Robinson Crusoe. It influenced Samuel Richardson and it's much more fun than his work. It was written by a woman and shows women who have...
