Things I Would Like To Do With You

Things I Would Like to Do with You

We no longer long for "happily ever after." We no longer believe in "you complete me" or Mad Men gender roles. But we all, still, love to love love.This book is an exploration of a love for a new generation---a love replete with intimacy and trust, a love with room for change and independence, a love without ownership.I began this book rather casually, after a Midsummer Night's date. The first chapter met with more enthusiasm than anything I had ever written. It was then serialized on Elephant Journal, where it garnered millions of readers and an online community of 108,000. I felt like a donkey, who had accidentally won the love of a fairy queen-this new love was something we were all clearly puzzling over.Things I would like to do with You is a universal, personal and timeless exploration of love-a love that includes loneliness, humor, and friendship.May it be of benefit!~ Waylon Hart Lewis, Author
