Re: Dec. Fiction - Will you participate?

Unread post

I'd like to read Memories of My Melancholy Whores, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Here goes BookTalk expanding my horizons again: I've never looked at the amazon best seller list before today. One of the reader/reviewers mentions a very positive review in "The New Yorker" by John Updike, which I didn't bother reading 'cause I've already decided the book is fascinating.The themes are sex and love, youth and age: both of tremendous interest to me. Also I'm somewhat of a Hispanofile, and I like the idea of reading material from another culture.("Already decided" based on customer reviews) If you make yourself really small, you can externalize virtually everything. Daniel Dennett, 1984
