The creator of To Do List magazine wrote a book called Quirkyalone and it just hit the shelves this week. Congratulations to Sasha Cagen, who defines the word as "A person who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than date for the sake of being in a couple...See also: romantic, idealist, independent." Take the quiz to see how quirkyalone you are.

Even Barbara Ehrenreich is quoted on the back cover, "Cagen's up to something that could be as important for women as The Feminine Mystique was years ago: We aren't just halves of couples; we are distinct individuals..."

And a word or two from yours truly appears on page 136.
