Outside Reading - Week 2, Post B

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Dear Sr. Marquez,
I am interested with this novel, it has started off with quite an unconventional beginning. I am aware that many people like this book, along with your other book Love in the Time of Cholera, and that you have won the Pulitzer Prize for your writing. I am just curious to see where the story goes, or even who it will follow (which character). In the beginning there was a family tree and so far a few of the characters have been incorporated into the plot, but in 100 years, will the main character change? And I did not know if I would be motivated to read this novel, but I am interested so far, the only obstacle is finding the time to read it. I am also fascinated by the setting, being a Spanish speaker and dreaming of going to Mexico to experience the culture. So far, I am somewhat confused on what Jose Arcadio Buendia will do next because he has gone on small, meaningless adventures as of yet. Maybe they will tie together in the end, I guess I will have to continue reading to find out!
