... challenge, for example). I read Love in the Time of Cholera and found it faster and yes, somewhat more readable than 100-Years of Solitude, but as always, I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I've also been re-reading the Stephenie Meyer vampire series so that I can read number 4 in ...

The LEC 100 Years of Solitude is stunning. Rafael Ferrer did the illustrations. There are several brightly colored full page illustrations and lots of very cool pen and ink drawings and "doodles" in the margins and set in the text. To me they are very well suited to the book. It's signed by Fer ...

Wow! I'd love to own the LEC's 100 Years of Solitude! What are the illustrations like? I have the LEC Borges' Ficciones and confess to being disappointed in the lithographs, which look just like simple mazes. The later LEC editions, after Sidney Shiff took over running the Club, are very ...

Now you have me curious! I only have 3 LEC titles: A Week on the Concord and Merrimac Rivers, Uncle Remus, and 100 Years of Solitude. While I have a lot of Easton Press and a Heritage Press or two, I don't have any duplicates to compare. But I'll be on the lookout for a Heritage or Easton Pres ...

I agree on the Hitchhiker's Guide, it's also one of my all-time favorites. And I'll add Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit. I know it starts with an "O" in English, but as I read it in German, I'll mention it here. It took me a while to get through it, but I simply loved this book.

I think the one I was most impressed by this year was A Hundred Years of Solitude though there have definitely been some contenders.

I'm not sure I'd want to tempt fate by reading a book titled A Hundred Years of Solitude while stranded. :D

That one's on the list, and I've read it, as well as One Hundred Years of Solitude...

Finished One hundred years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I greatly enjoyed the opening chapters of the book concerning Jose Arcadio Buendia, but after that there were so many different storylines & characters (a lot with the same names) that I just couldn't connect with the characters ...

Definitely One Hundred Years of Solitude, which made me want to find a place as much as possible like Macondo. Of course, there's no Macondo, and the place which Macondo was modelled on is not like it used to be anymore. Fortunately, South America is a big place, so if you seek, you will find ...

I highly recommend that you give One Hundred Years of Solitude a chance, at the least. It is not my favorite (Love in the Time of Cholera is), but it was still good. I abandoned a Christmas gift from my husband: A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 by Andrew Roberts. I ...

My experience with One Hundred Years of Solitude was that it was the kind of book you have to give yourself over to, if you know what I mean. It was like some of the Russian fiction, in which you have to give up trying to get all the names straight and have faith that familiarity will come with ...

... story. literally. I'll probably give it another go... sometime this year. On another note, I think I should re-read One Hundred Years of Solitude as well

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I haven't read it in about 5 years. But I believe the story spans across 3 generations.

Anna Karenina. Followed in no particular order by: Confederacy of Dunces, East of Eden, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

I greatly enjoyed One Hundred Years of Solitude. On the other hand, I thought The Da Vinci Code was utterly dumb, and I have never read anything else by Dan Brown. All the puzzle inside a puzzle inside a puzzle stuff became very boring and repetitive and silly.

... think at age 50 I could let go a little more easily! I liked The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. We read One Hundred Years of Solitude several years ago in book club, and I think half of the discussion that evening was centered around who finished, who didn't, and why. Persona ...

#63 ireed110: I cannot blame you for giving up on One Hundred Years of Solitude. I've tried it a couple of times, and finally resigned myself to the fact that I am never going to make my way through it.

I gave up on One Hundred Years of Solitude. I will try again someday, if only because my son loves it and I really respect his judgment. What did it for me was when it fell out of my purse at work, and the bookthong came out. I thought I'd put it back in the right place, but after reading ...

lisacharlotte18, I thoroughly enjoyed One Hundred Years of Solitude, I hope you do too!

Finished The Ladies of Grace Adieu, which was very good, and have just started One Hundred Years of Solitude.

... I was a huge Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende fan when I was starry- eyed. I kinda wonder whether I would think One Hundred Years of Solitude is rather ridiculous now. But in a way . . I don't want to lose the memory of loving those books.

5) One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez It took me way too long to get through this book. I had a lot of stuff going on so it was hard to find time to really sit down and get into the story. Overall, I didn't really think that it lived up to the hype and I found myself ...

I feel like I've just come home. Hello, like-minded readers! Just yesterday I gave up, again, on One Hundred Years of Solitude. I feel SO obligated to read and love this book because my son read it in college, loved it, and loaned me his copy. It was interesting for a while, but then it was ...

Hey, I enjoyed Love in the Time of Cholera, but it was nowhere's near as good as Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. Okay, drneuton, I am adding that to my wishlist! Michael Chabon is another one of my personal gods*. *This is not an invite to jargoneer to commence telling me what ...

I snagged Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Soiled Doves by Anne Seagraves for FOUR DOLLARS at the thrift store!

I really enjoyed the first half of One Hundred Years Of Solitude. It was interesting as I had no real knowledge of South American history. Unfortunately, as the generations passed and new characters seemed to keep having the same names as older characters, I got thoroughly confused and lost and ...

... Ella Minnow Pea sounds amusing. It makes me think of that James Thurber novel about the letter "O". I read One Hundred Years of Solitude in college and loved it. I just couldn't get interest in Cholera though. It's still hanging around the house somewhere unfinished.

I'm very slowly making my way through One Hundred Years of Solitude, but I just started a new job and find myself falling asleep when I sit down to read it.

I really liked One Hundred Years of Solitude but I couldn't get into Love in the Time of Cholera at all.

My most popular book is 1984, followed by To Kill a Mockingbird, Brave New World, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Catch 22. Interestingly, I've had all these books since the 60s or early 70s and, when I continue down my list of "most shared" books I see that I have to get well down ...

... was so-so and didn't request this one. I'm not sure whether it's the translation or the author, I know Rabassa translated One Hundred Years of Solitude, for example, and I loved the prose in that book.

Okay, okay, I have to put my two cents in: I liked One Hundred Years of Solitude. My only "problem" with it was I found myself constantly having to refer to the family tree in the front. I had problems keeping all the characters organized in my brain. I am almost finished with Love in the Tim ...

I hated One Hundred Years of Solitude, which I had to read for my first college literature class. That was a long time ago (1992), so I don't recall a lot of details. I do remember being bored and actively disliking most of the characters. I also remember getting into an argument with most of ...

One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Garcia-Marquez, was on of the books for an English class at college (Literature of the Fantastic). I just couldn't get in to this book.

I too, tried One Hundred Years of Solitude - three times. I'll knock a few off my TBR list before I try a fourth time.

I fought my way through One Hundred Years of Solitude. I think I could have coped with a couple of decades. Eventually I lost the will to read, and just turned the pages mechanically, running my eyes down each page. I also hated Dictionary of the Khazars, and when I reviewed it for LT, one of ...

My guess is that of those 2% very few are recent books. Looking at the top non english books on LT the first is One hundred years of solitude at number 23, from 1967. Of the other 11 in the top 100 books only The Alchemist is more recent (1988).
