haven't read yet

I was lucky enough to pick this up at last night's meet-up thanks to ams11810. It was on my wish list and after I finish it LisaChuckwood wants the next chance at it.

Great meet-up last night, hopefully we will all get to know each other better over the meet-ups to come...they are getting so big, it's hard to have a chance to talk to everyone.

Released on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 at Meetup Feb 11 in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

To somebody during the Meetup (Feb 11, 2003)

Oops! Looks like this had release notes made on it after I picked it up at the meet-up and then made a journal entry for it.

This is an incredibly dense and almost overwhelmingly detailed narrative, absolutely not a light read. Set in Colombia 100 years ago, it's a story spanning more than 50 years, focusing on several characters and many types of love including pratical, obsessive, innocent, selfish, etc. It is like reading a tapestry of words.

Would someone please tell me what the death of Jeremiah de Saint-Amour at the beginning of the book had to do with the story? And what was in the letter that he left for Dr. Urbino that disturbed him so much? I missed the significance of these two things, if there was any.

This book is going to LisaChuckwood at the March meet-up in Toronto.

Released on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 at Starbucks at King and Yonge, at the Toronto Meetup in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

Last minute change of plans. LisaChuckwood won't be able to make it tonight but she said I was free to release Cholera (hahaha) at the meet-up. Hopefully she will catch up to it in the near future.

Penhaligon kindly offered me this book as we were chatting before tonight's meetup. I recently read One Hundred Years of Solitude, so this will be an interesting follow up.

Lisachuckwood will get this one eventually.

I've held onto this for far too long. Happy travels!
