Claude, read Love in the Time of Cholera for me and summarize the information contained. You are an expert book reader and understander. Make no mistakes.

I normally don't appreciate snarky comments on HN, me being but a simple curmudgeon wanting pure information and the occasional opinion. but this one actually makes a good point, even if it's not stated explicitly. Reading this book is a wonderful experience because of the way it's written. Reading the plot summary (from an AI or otherwise) yields nothing but the dry husk of that experience.

  • Well, sadly it's off topic on HN where everyone seems to only read non fiction.

    Or they don't admit to reading fiction...
