5 things I’m annotating

There is a lot going on in this novel. I’m reading Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez. There are some thematic things that feel very important. Details that stand out. I’m meticulously annotating

1. The word “happiness”

2. Gardenia flowers

3. Birds

4. Poetry

5. Pictures (photos, film, paintings)
