Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: considered one of the finest books of all time, this novel tells the story of an unrequited love that has lasted for half a century.

I’m not sure what it was, but for some reason, I just could not get into this book. The prose was gorgeous, the descriptions wonderful, but I just could not get past page twenty. I suspect that a lot of stuff that’s going on in my life is to blame, but since this is a BookCrossing book that needs to move on to others, I’m going to surrender and pass it on. I hope to try it again at a later date and see if I can’t finally get into it.

I haven't tried this one, though I've tried others by him. His writing is so beautiful and yet, I have never managed to finish one!

YOU MUST FINISH THIS BOOK! I just got through reading it, and let me tell you, it may seem tedious at first, but it is truly a work of art. READ IT!

This novel was painful and that's all there is to it
