One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez


The swamp village of Macondo Columbia was founded by Jose Arcadio Buendia. This book is the story of his village and his family, all six generations of his family. You might expect, the pace of this story is mostly very quick and zoomed out. However, there are some scenes that invoke a strong feeling. Of the twenty or so main characters, each has a moving story.

I thought One Hundred Years of Solitude, while brilliant, was very demanding. I like when things happen in stories, but I don't like having to remember every single word in order to follow the story.
