In love with GGM

I have just about read half the book and all I can say is this is yet another masterpiece by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
He writes with such passion , such control and with so much truth that it is hard to not become one of his characters in the book.
Love is strange. I wonder where and how life would be without that hope ;no matter how adolescent or silly it may sound? Is it possible to not only swear love forever but to follow it throughout your life, to live a life based on such a committment?
How I wish this was true...

This is what 'Love in the Time of Cholera', is all about. Florentino Ariza waits 51 years,9 months and 4 days for his sweetheart,Fermina Daza!

GGM writes like a poet ...

'It was the year they fell into devastating love. Neither one could do anything except think about the other, dream about the other, and wait for letters with the same impatience they felt when they answered them. Never in that delirious spring, or in the following year, did they have the opportunity to speak to each other.'

Beautiful to read such passages in the book .

In love with whatever I have read so far.

Cheers to love that never stops , that never changes , that matures and grows with time , that helps you rediscover yourself all over again ....

I have another hundred pages to go and I can barely wait ...

Adios.
