    Gabriel García Márquez: Memories Of My Melancholy Whores

    I am so intrigued and can't wait for it to be available in English. I tried to pick up Spanish once, so that I can read him in his native tongue (mixing of metaphors?). But I don't think "Teach Yourself Spanish" tapes were designed for that purpose. I wonder if Garcia Marquez has ever read...

    Erm, haven't killed any... yet. But I suppose I could oblige if someone asked real nicely. As for your second comment, going by the previous posts, as long as its asian food and not asians that you're interested in consuming. Damn, I knew I should have checked this place out more...

    One more before you die.

    Yup. Absolutely love Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Or rather, what I have read of him so far in translation :(. People seem to prefer Love in a time of Cholera, but I found that I prefer Solitude. Wonder what he's like in his original language?

    One more before you die.

    The Bible. :) Most probably Don Quixote (Ormsby translation) or 100 Years of Solitude. Something intellectually sentiment (??) and makes you appreciate what you've had so far... I like hypothetical questions. You make a scenario up and run with it. It's imaginary, make believe and...

    Top ten books sold in the U.K

    top 10 list LOL! I don't think any list from the UK can stun me anymore. Especially after I found out that "Gone with the Wind" is the most watched movie in the UK EVER. Oops. Hope I didn't offend any Scarlett O'Hara (or Mitchell) fans out there.

    I just finished reading...

    Mrs. Woolf Just finished reading Mrs Dalloway AND The Hours... thought it might be an interesting experiment to read them concurrently :p Read Dalloway sometime back but I had time on my hands, so why not. It was quite interesting really. I wonder if it is a similar experience to what a Pink...
