Magical realism! I tried to get through One Hundred Years of Solitude, but it just wasn't working for me at the time. Maybe Mr. Garcia Marquez needs another shot.
i've read love in the time of cholera, the general in his labyrinth, and one hundred years of solitude. i love them all, but you're right in that he takes a long time to get started. i think marquez spends so much time building up the journey that it's possible to stop caring about the destination. i love him anyway... yes, give him another shot. the book may take months, but it'll be a few very pretty months.
