I never realized how many books there really are out there. And it's so funny. I'd be reading the reviews on Amazon, and one would be glowing, can't say enough good things about a book, and you scroll down and read another review where the person just hated it.

"One Hundred Years Of Solitude" is a beautiful(and strange) book and it will inspire you to do all these things. I love it & I love you, so they should go well together.

I see that it's on Oprah's book list. I'll read the synopsis again. Thanks for the recommendation, pico, mwa!

I *heart* books. I'm looking foward to breaking my school shackles and reading more for fun soon. I am in a book club, however, and our next selection is "Empire Falls." I really want to read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" but I saw the book club show and they all struggled with it a bit so be prepared. It sounds magical though. On her website they have a reading guide you might want to look at.

I ended up getting the autobiography by Dr. Jane Goodall. I figured Hundred Years of Solitude is a popular enough book that I can get from the library.

I've read some reviews on Amazon and it's mixed, I guess some people get it, and some don't. I'm pretty simple when it comes to grasping concepts so I'll probably encounter some difficulty. I should exercise my brain more!
