Splash du Jour: Monday

Happy Birthday to 1982 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature…
Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Born in Aracataca, Columbia on March 6th, 1928.
“...human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but...life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.”
-- Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I soooooo believe that to be true!

Have a great Monday!

Hi...Mimi here,from Chennai in India.Thanx for reminding that today is Marquez's birthday.Really had no idea that March 6th is his birthday.He remains a great favourite of mine...I love his Love in the Time of Cholera and Hundred Years of Solitude the most among all his works.Was hugely disappointed with his Memories of My Melancholy Whores.I wonder which is your fav Marquez novel.I read your email...Thanx for taking the trouble to respond.Phew!Feels like I have been writing for an eternity.Ha!

I have only read his 100 Years!
I definitely want to read more of Marquez but have not gotten around to it yet.
Thanks for reading Mimi.
