Do you ever read something and you just think, "I'm so happy reading this that I'm angry about it." Garcia Marquez keeps me trying to make my brain bend in different ways, to describe things in new and confusing and illuminating ways.
"...but he allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves."
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Love in the Time of Cholera
If you like that, you should read how he describes a phallus. It's so good. Maybe next time, lit nerds.
