Update for MelanieB

I am about 50 pages into Love in the Time of Cholera. It is like pulling teeth. So far, I don't care for it at all, but finish it I will, since I have to for book club.

I hated 100 Years of Solitude, which we read for book club a few years ago. I just don't get Gabriel Garcia Marquez. To me, it's like the emporer's new clothes. Bleah.

I'll update more fully when I finish. If I can get finished.

Sigh.

Well, I'm about 1/4 of the way through Strangers and Sojourners and having a hard time putting it down. Thanks for inspiring me to pick it up.

Too bad about LITTOC. Not making me want to pick that one up.
