One Hundred Years of Solitude


Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude might be the best piece of writing I've ever read. I can think of a few poems I've read that make me feel the same way this book does, except this book is 400 pages long. Often, One Hundred Years of Solitude feels like poetry - like the same amount of consideration was invested in each syllable as the best poets put into the sounds they produce. I am stunned. Please read this book. Please.
