I have read all his books in English and Spanish just because I could

I also read anything I can get my hands on, seriously, so this makes me think that perhaps there is hope for you...kidding!
Honestly my favourite is Memories of My Melancholy Whores. I have "No One Writes to the Colonel" in my bookshelf but haven't read it yet. I have too many books on the go right now that I don't even know what to do with myself.
