so i've gotten in the habit of reading awful mindless suspense/mystery novel crap. i have been really wanting to read something good and finally remembered that my sister becky is a literary scholar and would, of course, have a good suggestion for me. ok so she sent me a list of about twenty books (i should have known!) i'm going to share my thoughts.
the first book i read was "love in the time of cholera" by gabriel garcia marquez - it was very good. i really enjoyed his writing style, he did win the nobel prize for writing for goodness sake. its about marriage and love - its quite a pathetic love story. i liked it because i think it was true to what love is and can be (beautiful, painful, exciting, depressing, fulfilling, sick) it was not what i expected it to be, and i like that.
then i read "the color purple" by alice walker. i've seen this movie countless times and absolutely love it. now reading this book i am a little disappointed at how it was portrayed in film. the book was wonderful, if you enjoyed this movie you MUST read this book. in the end i think it is about peoples journey to god and to self.
i am now going to start "one hundred years of solitude" another garcia marquez novel.
i love reading, its just so hard for me to put a book down!
