goose Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Anybody out there read any of Garbriel Garcia Marquez's work? I'm a big fan and read several of his works multiple times. he has an amazing ability to develop charcters, and to paint pictures with words.

GeddyRulz Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 As big a reader as I am, I've never read any of his stuff. I've considered it, though. I've always heard good things about "Love in the Time of Cholera." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His magnum opus, 100 Years of Solitude, can be a bit much to digest, due to its length. Both have great imagery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I just bought a used copy of "100 Years of Solitude." I think any problems with reading it will stem from issue of so many similarly named characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any problems with reading it will stem from issue of so many similarly named characters. The copy I have has a little family tree in the front, which helps to keep track. The characters are all clearly identifiable by their behaviors, but the men can be a blur when taken by name alone. The last time I read it I was in hawaii. I think it helps to be someplace steamy - to set the mood. Maybe lock yourself in the bathroom and turn the shower way up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
