Some thoughts about Love in the Time of Cholera...

- For me, this book was about class as much as it was about love. What are some of the ways that class affected the characters?

- At the time of writing I have 50 pages to go so still I don’t know if Florentino and Fermina get together in the end (!) but considering their adult lives which of the characters do you think had a truer experience of love?

- Is Florentino Ariza a fool?

- How is love characterized as a disease within the book?

Here is a link to Thomas Pynchon’s original review of the book as it appeared in the New York Times:
THE HEART'S ETERNAL VOW

We'll be meeting to discuss this book on December 10th at the Main Library in Conference Rm 3 at noon. Feel free to bring a lunch.
