I have not read Love in the Time of Cholera but i saw the movie with Javier Bardem and i really loved it. I'm hoping to read more of Marquez in the future.Bookventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533767618250098740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-73864967313945673382011-03-02T05:25:50.298+05:302011-03-02T05:25:50.298+05:30From your list, I would recommend The Grapes of Wr...From your list, I would recommend The Grapes of Wrath.
