    Cheers mate, I love the book!

    Chavis sent me a copy of One hundred years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez!

    My pleasure, girlie. Glad you like it. I'd say that I hope you enjoy it, but it's impossible not to.

    Best. Book. Evar. Fact.

    Literary folklore has it that Márquez barricaded himself in a room for 17 months or so and this was the finished result. A true work of genius.

    It is a wonderful book. Marquez' work is so beautiful in English, I wish I could read Spanish.

    I concur. The book was beautifully written. The author seems to understand - the nature of humans, our relationships, and our failures.



    Chalice, wonderful gift.



    Right on, mate
