1. I actually enjoy the hard books. The characters are so well developed and it is what I usually read.

3. I’m a little late getting this started. I am listening to the Audible version. I am transfixed by the narrator.

4. This book is not an easy read. There is a lot of detail and words I’ve never run across before. I will probably stick with it to find out what was in the 11-page letter, but I’m not sure. I can see why the audiobook might be more enjoyable.

   1. The 2 times I tried to read “Love in the Time of Cholera,” I stopped FAST; I had no idea of the “who, what, where, when, or why” of it. (I read some of his early works without difficulty.) James Joyce’s writing in “Ulysses,” was also impossible for me to get into! Odd, since Toni Morrison’s, “Beloved,” could be considered hard to follow, but I love all her books and “Beloved” particular. I also tried, but do not like Faukner! For me hard reads are not necessarily worth the trouble!

   2. I’m finding it hard going as well. It is one of those ‘worthy books’ that everyone was reading at one time. Am not sure yet if I have the time and inclination to finish it. I’m finding the obsessional love theme downright irritating.
