Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel García Márquez
3.0

A short read, finished in what I would estimate to two hours, pleasant. It reminds me of Lolita except the love is never consummated. The prose is clear, simple, not as elaborate or poetic as 100 Years (which I hope to finish soon). It's not really about "whores" at all, and you should try to keep in mind that this guy is old. I liked the story a lot. It has such sadness and weight squeezed into its 100 pages.
