    One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of my absolutely favorite books ever! I voted for Autumn of the Patriarch only because I have it and have not read it yet. I look forward to any selection!

    Chronicle of a Death Foretold was always my favourite of García Marquez's works.

    Last year, the Book Club read Cholera; even though I loved his language and style, I found the story line somewhat boring. I am hoping that Solitude will be better (or any other book we read by him for that matter).

    I've already read 100 Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Memories of My Melancholy Whores, so I vote for something new: Chronicle of a Death Foretold. I read about it in his autobio Living to Tell the Tale, and it sounds fun

    I have 100 Years of Solitude waiting to be read, so I will vote for that one. Some of my friends say it's a very good book, so certainly want to read it.

    I am reading 100 Years of Solitude & I would love to discuss it at LitNet.
    The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness.

    I've read One hundred years of solitude after a recomendation of my friend, but I don't see why is that book so good. Forgive me, please
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.
    If you need me urgent, send me a PM
