The Truth and Of Love and other Demons

Two fast reads, the first, The Truth, from Terry Pratchett, a growing favorite of mine, and the second, Of Love and other Demons, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Pratchett's novel was another fun and sometimes biting romp through Discworld, where dwarves, reformed vampires, and regular folk attempt to uncover the truth, or at least the interesting bits, and inform the citizens through Ankh-Morpork's first newspaper. Highly enjoyable. If you haven't discovered this writer yet, what are you waiting for?

Of Love and other Demons was my second encounter with Garcia Marquez and I actually enjoyed this second read more than the first (Love in the Time of Cholera which was also great). Demons was sweet and very creepy all at the same time. Was the young girl really possessed? Nearly impossible to tell and as impossible to accept all the cruelties committed by the other characters whose behaviors were often more demonic that that of the "possessed." An insight into how inhuman people become when faced with someone they believe is not human.
