There are plenty of books in the world that show love drawn out in a poetic lifetime.
-Love In The Time Of Cholera, or Memories of My Melancholy Whores, and many other books by Garcia Marquez.
-Unbareable Lightnes of Being, or Slowness, by Milan Kundera are amazing examples.
-The English Patient, by Michael Ondaatje. You've probably seen the movie. If you are a female [or emotionally satisfied and secure man], there are chances you may have shed a tear.
Surely, there are hundreds, if not thousands of novels that spin magical webs of love, passion, sadness, and whatever emotion that partners with love. But, these five books are beautifully crafted displays of the humanity in and surrounding love.
Over time, I will offer snippets from each book, discuss, and end with questions regarding the passage, and perhaps even the novel as a whole. I would love to open up a discussion with anyone who stumbles upon the blogs, and you will be able to leave comments and/or email me.
