This is the first time Im re-reading a work of fiction. I have a friend who, like you, reads Garcia Marquez's novels again and again. The meagre Spanish Ive learned in school is not enough to tide me over a reading in the original. Too bad, I know.

I am currently the president of the environmental organization Health Care Without Harm-Asia (HCWH-ASIA). Previously, I served as the mayor of the Municipality of Gubat in Sorsogon. After studying politics at the University of the Philippines, I was a campaigner for the Burma program of the Initiatives for International Dialogue (IID), and later for HCWH-ASIA.

Are you sure you're reading this for the first time? Or rereading?
This Marquez novel is simply amazing. If you can get past the first few troublesome paragraphs, that is.
Im reading it for the second time. First Book for the month ng bagong tatag namin na book club.
BTW, if youre interested i've just created an egroup to exchange information on books chosen by the reading group (in medias res).
i've read this book about four times and once again in spanish..took me six months! but worth it. :)
