Books - What are you reading?

I'm reading a translation of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Takes some concentration but definitely worth it.

I should be starting on my reading list for Uni MA, but haven't quite got around to it yet.

I've just finished Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Fucking hated it. He's a skillful writer, but he adds quirks to his characters on the slightest whim, adding utterly irrelevant and sometimes bizarre details just to create 'flavour'.
It's also blindingly obvious he's writing for a female audience, but I'm sure that any female reader that I know would see through his ham handed efforts to throw them a bone.
I find his characters are unlikeable and haphazard, not complex and contradictory as he seems to think they are.
Smug, self congratulatory twoddle.
