I almost put it down too but as I continued reading it became easier to understand. It really is a great book. One I would like to read again. I also read 'Love in the Time Of Cholera' and really enjoyed that too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128269447156387127.post-87338140059780896702009-03-21T13:16:00.000-07:002009-03-21T13:16:00.000-07:00Marquez is in my to-read-list but I've never gotte...Marquez is in my to-read-list but I've never gotten around to get any of his books.
