Thanks for your titles J.R. One Hundred Years Of Solitude has been on my must read list for a few years now, i'm lost as to why i haven't picked it up, this weekend maybe.
Better than Tom Jones you say? Oddly enough i'm just re-reading that now, i last read it 15 years ago. This time though i'm ignoring Fieldings waffling on at the first chapter of each book and it's making for a much more enjoyable read.
Regards
Paul

As an appetizer, you could read his "Chronicle of a Death Foretold"... - orejones 11:07:52 06/16/04 (0)
...which is short in length, but worth each and every word in it: actually, I think it�s even better than "One Hundred Years"...
While writing this, Joyce�s "The Dead" comes to my mind, as another short story which grows much bigger inside you than the space it occupies in the book..., and it, too, stays haunting you long time after you finish reading it.
Best regards

Dang it's been forty years since I read "Tom Jones". - J.R. 06:08:36 06/16/04 (0)
I must re-read it, one of my alltime favorites. I hope you read
"One Hundred Years of Solitude" soon; I'll be looking forward to
your observations and comments: I read it in one setting, half of it
by flashlight on a hill in the beautiful Cauca valley in Colombia.
Regards,
J.R.
