Re: Garcia Marquez offer back
i read the opening sentence of 100 years of Solitude and could hardly bear to put it down until i finished it... since when his work has been a really imp part of what i do... and i got to dramatise his novella No One Writes to the Colonel for Radio 4 which felt like being paid for a privilege... give them a chance, guys!!!Bruno wrote:It was my bro who posted it on here - he bought them for me for Christmas and I've not read a single page either.Bruce Rioja wrote:It was last year, and they're still here, on my shelf of shame.William the White wrote:ten books from the master of 20th Century literature for £9.99

To be honest this is the first. Question to those who have read it. Is there a prequel?William the White wrote:How many have you managed so far enfield?enfieldwhite wrote:I bought these first time round.

He builds characters well and I find myself liking the Mayor and the Priest, more that the petty-minded villagers, in spite of their influence and power. There go my working class ideals!
