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

I read this over the summer so I'm looking forward to the discussion!
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 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.I think this is one of the most beautiful first sentences I read.It was inevitable: The scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.

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!
Hwæt! We Gar-Dena in geardagum,/Þeodcuninga þrum gefrunon,/hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,/ monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,/ egsode eorlas, syððan ærest wearð/ feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,/ weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,/ oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra/ofer hronrade hyran scolde,/gomban gyldan. Þæt wæs god cyning!
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...
