Love in the Time of Cholera | Gabriel Garcia Marquez
post image
Pickpick

I just finished reading this one. I liked it so much better than One Hundred Years of Solitude. Gabriel Garcia Marquez has an intriguing style of writing, and every time I picked this book up, I felt transported to South America. Fermina & Florentino 💙 53 years, 7 months, 11 days & nights...

KathyWheeler This is my Marquez book. 6y
mcctrish When I read this I felt like I could smell that bloody river 😆 (edited) 6y
Cathythoughts Somethings up with Litsy .. my message to you just disappeared .. I was saying congratulations on finishing! I loved the story too. And the feeling of being in South America ... what a story !! 👍🏻❤️ 6y

okuribi One of my absolute favorite ones from him; although personally it can't compare to Of love and other demons. 6y
CoffeeNBooks @okuribi I'll have to check that one out! 6y
Ye_Mighty_Andy_Spare Am currently reading Where The Bird Sings Best, which feels very similar to Marquez's style. If I didn't know better, I'd say he wrote it. It's by film director Alejandro Jodorowsky, who took the bare bones of his family's history and ran it through a magical realism filter about a dozen times. Feels a little closer to 100 Days than Cholera in that it talks about a whole family tree, rather than focusing on one main character 6y
CoffeeNBooks @Ye_Mighty_Andy_Spare Wow- sounds really interesting!! 6y

Enjoying reading the story of Juvenal Urbino, Fermina Daza, and Florentino Ariza on this peaceful Saturday morning. 🌞 #LoveInTheTimeOfCholeraBuddyRead2018 @Cathythoughts

Adriannagab One of the best love stories in literature 😍😍😍 I loved reading it.. although it was too sexually oriented for my taste 6y
Cathythoughts I‘m loving it too ... the language is beautiful & the story incredible.... ❤️👍🏻 (edited) 6y
Cathythoughts I had hoped to finish it this weekend ... but I‘d say it will be next week .... ❤️💫💫 6y

CoffeeNBooks @Cathythoughts I'm pacing myself, and probably won't finish this until later in the month. 🌺 6y
CaroPi I love that book so much... Read it like 4 times. The perfect explanation of what is love. And besides that is hilarious 6y
Cathythoughts @CaroPi yes! Well said , it explains relationships so well & I agree it is hilarious at times 👍🏻❤️❤️ 6y
Lidia It's one of my favorite books of all time ❤ 6y
sdbruening Bought this one recently and haven‘t read yet. More inclined to start it soon! 6y

@Cathythoughts I get what you mean about the ‘soap incident‘ now 😂😂

I‘m not too far into this yet but I am loving the writing and the way he writes about relationships. I‘m intrigued as to where it‘s going. #loveinthetimeofcholerabuddyread2018

Cathythoughts Oh good ... I must read on myself... a very rich book 💫💕💫 6y

Same reading spot and mug this morning, different book. This is what I love about weekends! ☕📚 #LoveInTheTimeOfCholeraBuddyRead2018

MrsMalaprop You have my mug 😍👏. 6y
CoffeeNBooks @MrsMalaprop I love this mug! I've read several of the books on it, but one of these days I need to make a #MugReads list and read the rest of them! 6y
Gezemice This is one of my favorites. Enjoy! 6y

CoffeeNBooks @Gezemice I'm enjoying it so much more than One Hundred Years of Solitude, the only other novel of his I've read. 6y
Gezemice @CoffeeNBooks Yes, this one is a much more straightforward story, and one can enjoy his writing without feeling like it is work. 6y
Bklover This is on my shelves somewhere. I‘ll have to drag it out. Oddly, I LOVED One Hundred Years of Solitude (read it twice) but haven‘t read any of his others. 6y
MrsMalaprop Great idea 👍. 6y

I'm glad I decided to read this along with @Cathythoughts. The only Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel I'd ever read was One Hundred Years of Solitude, and I didn't like it. But people talk about how wonderful his writing is, so I knew I needed to give him another chance. I started reading this morning, and I'm enjoying it so far! #LoveInTheTimeOfCholeraBuddyRead2018

Cathythoughts Oh great ! I‘m enjoying it too. I‘m on a yoga weekend, so I won‘t get any more read till tomo night or Monday. But I‘m really finding it good. So glad you like it so far 👍🏻 6y
janeycanuck I DNF‘ed a Hundred Years of Solitude but loved Love in the Time of Cholera. Very different books!! Hope you enjoy it. 6y
CoffeeNBooks @janeycanuck It felt like I spent 100 years trying to finish One Hundred Years of Solitude, lol! 😂 But I finished it because it came highly recommended by a good friend. It's now on my short list of books I absolutely didn't like and wouldn't recommend to anyone! 🤣 6y

#LoveinTheTimeofCholerabuddyread2018 I‘m making a little start at the hairdressers.... ❤️.. I‘m busy next few days so I said I may as well ... Oh it‘s even better than I remember .. I‘m enthralled by every sentence & I‘m in stitches at the moment over the “ soap “ incident.. so rediculous & so very possible.. . All will be revealed fellow buddy readers ... ❤️

rmaclean4 I need to pick up a copy this weekend! 6y
Cathythoughts @rmaclean4 I think you are rereading too ?? ( 😬, not sure) ... I‘m rereading after so long that I only have a vague memory of the first read. Only starting, but surprised at how much I‘m surprised at how good it is ... 6y
rmaclean4 It will be a reread for me as well! Looking forward to it. 6y

SEPTEMBER 2d ! ... I am going for the reread , although it‘s soooo long since I‘ve read it ... it will be like a new read.
Anyone interested!? buddy read starting September 2d.
Very easy , no dates ( except roughly a start date ) ... no pressure...
Will you read with me ,this beautiful book ..
❤️ excited to read this again

Billypar Hope you enjoy it as much as the first time and discover new things to appreciate. I need to let some more time go by before I pick it up again but i think another Marquez, The General in His Labyrinth, might be next up for me, so I will be in parallel, author solidarity with you 📘📙 6y
TheBookAddict I think I may join you. I‘ve been meaning to read it for a really long time, so it may be time to dive in. I‘ll have to look for it at the library. I am debating wether I want to read it in Spanish or English. 6y
Cathythoughts @Billypar I loved the General .. & 100 Years ... this Bel Canto makes me want to go back to South America. I‘ll start with Love in The Time of Cholera ... who knows where it will lead to ... Such beautiful writing (edited) 6y

Cathythoughts @Billypar yes! Author solidarity it is ❤️👍🏻 6y
Cathythoughts @TheBookAddict oh to have such choices. ❤️... I only speak English... I imagine the Spanish can only be extraordinary 6y
TheBookAddict @Cathythoughts it usually is, it just takes me a bit longer to read since I don‘t read very often in Spanish. I started off by learning everything in Spanish until I was in 4th grade when they switched me to regular English classes. After that I was so intent on getting my English down packed that I stopped reading in Spanish all together. Now I‘m trying to go back to my roots a bit. 6y
CoffeeNBooks I'm in! It's been on my bookshelf and TBR list for awhile. 6y
Cathythoughts @CoffeeNBooks great ! We must have a hashtag! #loveinthetimeofcholerabuddyread2018 .... 6y
Cathythoughts @thebookaddict @CoffeeNBooks we are in for a Beautiful ride .... ❤️ (edited) 6y
youneverarrived I‘m in 😘 will be my first time reading it but it‘s one I‘ve been wanting to read for ages. 6y
Cathythoughts @youneverarrived brilliant, so delighted to have you on board 😘 6y
erzascarletbookgasm I‘ve never read him and I have this on my TBR but I‘ll still be drowning myself in Dostoevsky come September. Enjoy your reread and I look forward to seeing your posts. 😘 6y
Cathythoughts @erzascarletbookgasm thanks 🙏🏻. Dostoyevsky is great drowning material. I look forward to your posts too 👍🏻❤️ 6y
