What made me pick up this book was the title: "100 Years of Solitude." Being a largely solitary soul myself, I thought I could learn a few things from this work of Latin America's grand master of literature and I wasted no time getting down to it. All I can say is that I am simply overwhelmed by the amount of people this book chronicles. It's very difficult for me to keep track of large amounts of personalities and this book did not make it easy for me. In the end, I expended most of my energy simply trying to follow (with little success) and ideas of plot and theme were secondary. The 'magical realism' card didn't even surface; I just didn't have the time or energy for it. This book is way over my level of reading and it's something that I will probably have to revisit in a few years.
