I've finished Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez, Representative Men of Japan by Kanzo Uchimura, and Solitary Cyclist of the series of Sherlock Holmes. I also saw the film ‘Love in the Time of Cholera' and enjoyed magic realism and tropical atmosphere in Márquez's world after a long interval. He's a Colombian Nobel Prize winner and one of my favourite novelists.And then I saw Philip again in about nine months this Saturday. He 's an English teacher at the British Council, and we've mutual interests: reading and opera, although he prefers German opera and I prefer Italian opera. He told me that he's reading The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) by Yukio Mishima, and recommended me his own article on Virgin Atlantic's site. I also recommended him my blog. I think amateur writers are people who read each other's work to read their own work. Phil, do you read MY blog? I've already read your article.

Hello Kyoko,
I read your blog with great interest. It’s beautifully presented and full of interesting content. A good challenge for my Japanese. Thank you for mentioning my article as well.
I have also read `Love in the time of cholera` but a very long time ago so I can’t remember too much about it, I think I actually read it in South America. I would like to see the film and compare it. I went through a phase of reading South American fiction - `Death in the Andes` was my favourite.
Phil
