notesbynnenna 's review for:
One Hundred Years of Solitude
by Gabriel García Márquez
About- The life and times of the Buendía family over the course of one hundred years.
Why I picked it– As a Spanish major, I’m embarrassed to admit that I’d never read this book before. When I heard of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s passing, I was inspired to finally pick up this book and read it.
Thoughts- This is one of those books that I really wish I’d read during school. Of course the writing is wonderful, but I do feel like I would have better grasped the nuances of the text if I could participate in a discussion on it. I did generally enjoy it though and I also picked up Love in the Time of Cholera to read at some point.
