I just finished reading one of the best books I have ever read. It is
called or* HwdredYears of Soliuln. and was written by Gabriel
Garcia Mdrquez. He won the Nobel prize for this book i+ 19g2. It was
first published in 196? in Argentina and ftansrated intolrglish in
19?0. Briefly, its the story of the fictional town of Macondo as seen
through the eyes of many generarions of the Buendfa family. I leamed
about the changes that the town goes through as it gro*u".rd the years
roll byqs also read about the universal themes of birth, death, love,
war, wealth, poverty, honor^and comrption as we spend time with this
Iarge and fascinating family. The writing is simple, yet beautiful, even
in translation. If you are looking for
a really good book to read,l
recommend this book to you. Let me know if you read it. I hope that
you enjoy reading about these people and their lives as much as I did.
Love,
