indelible blue

i read this yesterday and really liked it. I've been thinking that I would like to actually do some real writing to people - actually send paper and card through the post with my own handwriting on it. The real 'indelible blue' that I never see any more. It reminds me of Love in the Time of Cholera - but I didn't like Florentino Ariz and that ruined the book for me. Never mind, I'm sure Duong Van Ngo isn't like him!
