My own answer to the question, Love in the Time of Cholera, is accompanied by an asterisk because of how long it has been since I last read the book (several years) and how much I may have changed since then. My hunch is that for most people, the answer to the question, “what is your favorite book?” is not super revealing. It made me wonder about the favorite books of my other friends and family members - Would their choice of favorite book say a lot about them? Would it be a special way to get closer to them or to better understand their tastes? Reading King Rat with these questions in the back of my mind added a layer of engagement that I really enjoyed. I chose to read this book because a friend of mine, Austin, told me that it was his favorite book. ![]()
