"Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Anything written by Marguez is likely to read like a dream. I find everything from his hand akin to gliding through a trance. Love in the time of Cholera follows two, some might call them, star-crossed lovers through the majority of their lives as they move from inseperable to alienated and by the end, together at last and wholly satisfied by the way their lives fit together. I could live without the story, the plot is, in no way, unique but, the way in chich Marquez writes is inimitable and I can't fathom a more enriching read.

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and other stuff. All by Stieg Larsson

It has been a long time since I have posted on this blog. Not because I haven't read anything but because the spirit hasn't moved me in a long time to post. Now that the desktop is up and running, I may as well post a couple quick entries. I have read all three installments of Stieg Larsson's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy in the past months. They were captivating reads and I paid the books forward to ensure that someone else might enjoy them. Although I had seen the American film version of the dragon tattoo before reading the novel, I found it no less captivating or enthralling. The second and third installments were equally intriguing and I have now begun to view the Swedish cinematic versions. This trilogy is clearly the most renown of Larsson's labors but I would certainly be excited to read any other works by him.
