One of the most influential literary works of our time, One Hundred Years of Solitude remains a dazzling and original achievement by the masterful Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad and alive with unforgettable men and women—brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul—this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction.

I hated this book more than any other book I've read to date.

I tried, I really did. But the grown arse man "fervently desiring" a 9 year old and marrying her a few years later was my last straw. Also all the incest and other shit. I felt physically ill reading this book, so I had to stop.
