I have not read "Love in the time of Cholera", i dont usually like love stories much, so maybe this sounds like a good one for me, if I get it and read it I will post back here.
I tell you another lovely book, its my favourite book and I don't even have it, but read it when I was staying somewhere once. It is A compilation of short stories by Oscar Wilde, they are kind of childrens' stories, but you asked for a nice read and this is a very nice read and I wasnt a child when I read them, but really enjoyed them, so it is the book I would recommend.
I just found them online actually, I havent read them for years, just remember that I loved this book
Short Stories by Oscar Wilde
I am currently reading James Herbert's Secret Of Crickeley Hall, but wouldnt recommend that for bedtime reading, unless you want nightmares!
I like the idea of seeing what books are in films and reading them.
