New Title!

Yikes the title of Gay Marriage has been at the top of my blog for a few days now, maybe a week? I should know the date if I'm going to refer to it, but that really and truly would be too much work.

Well Love in the Time of Cholera ended with two old people doing the dirty, and I'm sure in some paralell universe this is still a good book in spite of that fact, but honestly, I was still grossed out even though it's a little bit happily ever after and a little bit disaster waiting to happen. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the writing. Marquez has a good sense of description and a flair for flawed but likeable characters. It is the ability to describe which I hope to emulate.

Now I'm trying to finish up The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene. I don't mind it as much as when I stopped reading. I think part of the reason being I understand it a little better now, since I tried to explain it a couple posts ago. The priest's fate is not his own, because he is a priest! I'm glad I don't have to do a book report on the book, but at the same time, I know a book report, of at least 20 pages 10 pt font and single spaced wouldn't be enough to explain why the book is good. And for me that would be a good exercise in what makes good writing. I could use the lessons learned in my own attempts.

But that's a lot of work.
