Notes:
Books we reference (and either have or have not read):
Eva Illouz - Consuming the Romantic Utopia: Love and the Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism
"Elizabeth Lane, reading this as a Christian romance novel": Unfortunately the original links are dead but this is Eric's post writing about his reaction.
Laura Vivanco - For Love and Money - Chapter 3 is about "Metafiction"
CS Lewis - Surprised By Joy, which is about his becoming a Christian
