I finished Cien Años De Soledad (One Hundred Years Of Solitude) By Márquez. All in Spanish. But I can't brag, because I didn't really absorb it the way I wanted to. I was so busy looking up words I didn't know that I tended to lose my train of thought. It will take a re-reading to truly get it into my mind, get the genealogy straight, etc. But I'm not going to re-read it right away. Next, I am planning to read "Inquieta Compañía" by Carlos Fuentes. It is a collection of short stories that really interests me.
I apologize to anybody reading this blog who feels that I don't have my act together with reviewing these books. I have to go into this slowly. Remember it is the capturing the nuances in the Spanish language that interests me the most, not the story lines of the literature, although they interest me, too.
