The Class
I'm currently reading 'The Class' by Eric Segal. I found the following passage about an American student dating a Dutch girl in Switzerland particularly interesting:
That evening, they drove in Jason's rented VW Beetle to a three-hundred-year old inn in Chloesterli.
"My God," said Jason, as they sat down, "this place is older than America."
"Jason," Fanny smiled, "almost everything in the world is older than America. Haven't you noticed that?"
Eric Segal is an interesting writer.

True. The Class is a very well written popular novel.
I wouldnt call myself a romantic but I am still moved by The Love Story and its sequel Oliver's story. Man, Woman and Child is another book that whips my emotions.
