One Hundred Years of Solitude

This book, this classic is utterly boring. Boring to the bone, really. However at some point you get the feeling this book has the whole world in it.Everything that has been written before. It has elements of Nietsche (With Modern times, railways and such, God dies), It has elements of absurdism (Life has no meaning), it has biblical miracles, the whole history South America, it tackles ideologies and the fact that revolutions tend to eat themselves and that history is cyclical rather than a progression. And So Much more than that

This was not a conventional reading experience at all. The pace was so rapid and the characters so weird that you it was not possible to develop much of a relationship with the characters. This was something that I found unbearable last night thus giving it only 3 stars. If I would reat this again, this would most likely get 5++ stars from me.
