pickMy heart ❤️. if I had to choose a favorite, this is it. I will read this again. So beautiful magical elegant hilarious. I don‘t even understand it in the depths of its own language. I don‘t even know the resonance of what translation lost. But I know it‘s amazing .. the images ! Full of colour & like a crazy painting .. the irony , the humour, & the magic realism giving it all a glow .. Marquez ❤️💔 definitely a master for me & I love THIS book

erzascarletbookgasm I do have this on my TBR but has been putting it off because I‘m not a big fan of magical realism. Or have I confused it with another book? 6y
batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Me too. Or more like I have a complicated love-hate relationship with magical realism 😆 But love Cathy's description of this as full of colour, like a painting... I think this is one of his that I should read at some point. 6y
erzascarletbookgasm @batsy yes, Cathy describes it so beautifully, perhaps I‘ll read when I‘m in the mood for it 😊 6y
Cathythoughts @erzascarletbookgasm @batsy I don‘t think I‘ve read much magic realism except Isabelle Allende & I found her version too obvious & contrived. I bailed on her. But Marquez is different ... & the tagged book is straight forward enough. I really think it‘s worth #thehundredpagestest It‘s really like nothing else I‘ve ever read ... 6y
Cathythoughts @erzascarletbookgasm I actually sent you 2 small pieces of post .. just so you know , they should arrive within a day of each other 👍🏻 6y
batsy I didn't like Allende's The House of Spirits for the same reason! Thanks for your thoughts; I will definitely give this a try ... Maybe even squeeze it in as my "L" book for the Litsy Classics challenge ? 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Thanks Cathy, will let you know once I receive them. 😘 6y
youneverarrived Lovely review ❤️ I‘m loving the bits of humour in it. 6y
Cathythoughts @youneverarrived thanks 👍🏻. I had forgotten the humour. ... I see it more this time 6y
