I own it, I bought it at the same time I bought The last lecture. I read both of them the same week I got them I went on a very boring camping trip with my dad and cousins. I spent a lot of time in my tent reading, and by the campfire. Both books were great. No I have never read Love in times of Cholera, but I will check it out as soon as I am finished reading the third book in the flowers in the attic series, thanks for the suggestion.

*Raises hand* I am a big fan of reading and books in general. Over the years, I have built up quite a library of quality fiction and non-ficiton reading materials, and frequently re-visit these books to refresh my memory of them

Oh I forgot about Tolkien. We have his Christmas letters book. He wrote letters to his children from PB (the polar bear) complete with coloured paintings. They are lovely and give you areal feeling of his imagination running at full speed.

Im not sure if they would be available on the Philippines you have to check it out with the book stores, but his an english writer and worldwide famous so i would be supprised if you cant find him in the english international section of the bookstore or library. They are both huge books around 1000 pages, Pillars of the Earth is the first and the second, World Without End is the follow up book written to take place 200 years later. They are religous to an extent based on Christianity. In each book we follow the persons throughout their lifetime with their life projects.

Yes, I like books too. I like adult book, comics, cartoon comics, jokes, novels. I read them while travelling in the bus. I travel 1.5hrs daily so I read them while travelling. It is good to read the books. Whenever I read the books I imagine those things and my mind starts thinking of the event mentioned in the book. This is what I like to read the books. especially novels.
