Llosa is one of my favourite authors and the feast of the goat is amazing. I recommend his Conversation in the Cathedral. And don't miss out on Carlos Fuentes if you're into that region and literature.

Good for you, yeah I have also been successful with cold turkey. I think I'm not much addicted to the nicotine part compared to habit and stress. For example, I go on vacation and don't smoke for 2-3 weeks, with no problem.

The thing that kept me from vape is that I'm not sure if it's not worse than smoking although the chances are pretty low. Also I'm hoping that I can leave it completely behind as opposed to replacing.

Thanks. I did try the book a few years ago, but I remember after the first couple of chapters I got bored and gave up. Seemed like there was no actionable advice, but maybe I should give it another shot. I have heard from a few other people that the book helped them quit for good.
