Love in the Time of Cholera, by Marquez

Works of Love, and Fear and Trembling by Kierkegaard.

"Worldly wisdom is of the opinion that love is a relationship between persons; Christianity teaches that love is a relationship between: a person—God—a person, that is, that God is the middle term. However beautiful a relationship of love has been between two people or among many, however complete all their desire and all their bliss have been for themselves in mutual sacrifice and devotion, even though everyone has praised this relationship—if God and the relationship with God have been omitted, then this, in the Christian sense, has not been love but a mutually enchanting defraudation of love. To love God is to love oneself truly, to help another person to love God is to love another person, to be helped by another person to love God is to be loved."

I wouldn't say it's about love. Great book nonetheless.

Well then I hope I have the pleasure of introducing you to a bit of Pynchon ephemera about the subject at hand. Did you know he wrote a full-on review for the Times about the book he loved it so?

Came here to say this. Stendhal is the most brilliant idiot who ever lived.
