José Arcadio Buendía is feeling rather sane at the moment. That is, he's speaking non-Latin. This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that he's making a speech.

"The town of Macondo was founded...Hell, I don't know how many years ago. It was Monday for so long. But, it was a good many ago that it was founded! And I founded it! I, José

Guildenstern only caught the last part, but he still doesn't know whether to be annoyed or faintly amused. "Of course, even if time did start over, there's no guarantee anything would change. You'd just end up repeating the same events for all eternity."

Typist!: Omg One Hundred Years of Solitude. It was so confusing, with all the Aurelianos. I liked it well enough, though. :D I read it in sophomore year because some of my senior friends were reading it in AP English. So, some of the symbolism and some of the parallels flew over my head. D: But I'd like to try and read it again. /ramble
