In my ninetieth year, I decided to give myself the gift of a night of love with a young virgin.

If you’re going to shop today, don’t waste your money on clothes you’re not going to wear, or that microwave that’s on sale for $10 (It costs $10 for a reason). Instead, make a quick stop at your favorite book store and grab Memories of My Melancholy Whores, the latest book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

The Spanish version came out about a year ago (Memorias de mis putas tristes) but the English translation has been out for a few weeks now. I never realized that translations could take so long nowadays. I guess that’s why it’s good to be multilingual. Could you imagine if the Harry Potter books were only in French? I am sure millions of fans would be fluent in the “language of love” by now.
