Love in the Time of Cholera

We are reading Love in the time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in November. Please post your thoughts and comments in this thread.

*runs to the library to get her copy*





Book Club Procedures

I would place this in my top 10 books. Its my favorite Marquez book. I feel sad for people that can't pull this one off their own shelf, but must run to library. sniff

As much as I enjoy English author's I'm going to agree with you here, papayahed! I never did finish The Return of the Native. :(

Now I need to have a looky if they have it in English in the library(ies) :p

Woot! I just got my copy today!

I read this over the summer so I'm looking forward to the discussion! :D

I bought Love in the Time of Cholera a couple of years ago (and never got around to reading it til this year) but I noticed that the new edition has way better cover artwork.

I'm dying to know what was in the letter that the Jermaine guy wrote.....

I got a copy of it! *cheers* I might actually finish in on time... that is, before we're supposed to start to read a new book.. all I need is to finish TROTN :p

I got a copy too!!!

I agree with you, papayahed. What could have possibly taken up several pages (was it pages, plural?)? Suspense....

Got my copy today finally and just starting to read it.

It was inevitable: The scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.

I think this is one of the most beautiful first sentences I read.

ok, now what made Fermina change her mind?? Just the fact that she has grown up?

I'm a little late in this, but I just got my copy yesterday (our library's is remodeling, so they don't have much in their temporary space right now). Now I know why everyone's pondering the letter... What a great way to trap a reader!

I read it last year and I loved it... I wanted to buy it here but there were only copies in Albanian and I wanted to read it in English so my sister ordered it for me from Germany... and now I have an English copy... :D
