If you have never read 100 Years of Solitude go buy it and if possible in Spanish.

100 Years is great, but don't overlook "Love in the Time of Cholera." What a wonderful writer--transporting!

I tried it in Spanish but switched to English.
Loved both books!

What a shock to hear of the death of this incredible, incredible writer. He was truly one of the greats of our time.
Time to go back for re-reads.
