I don’t know why it took me so long to read Love in the time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I am not quite finished yet but I must say the writing and story line is just brillant. After reading One Hundred Years of Solitude I should have grabbed this book up and read it immediately. I think it was the threat of more characters named Juan that detered me. (Or Sarah’s mocking of the book)
Anyway it took a movie preview to make me rush out and get the book. I’m one of those sane people who prefers the book usually over the movie. I wanted to read the book before I even thought of viewing the movie. I am so glad that I did.
