A hard book to put down. It is a steamy tropical tale about people who live in an isolated village in Columbia. Marquez is a beautiful writer and is now a Nobel Prize winner. This book and his other writing, as well as other Latin American fiction, is very rich and complex. On Caring by M. Mayeroff.
Significant growth occurs through caring.
Shakespeare shows how the moral weakness we all share can lead us from nobility to savagery unless we fight to resist temptation. He does this with memorable poetic force. The drama is intensified by the suggestion of the supernatural and of psychosis. I enjoy books of adventure from which I can also learn about life philosophically. A Yellow Raft in Blue Water by Michael Dorris.
