Just a quick update on my 1,001 Books reading process:
I think I might give myself a bit of a break from The Autumn of the Patriarch. The set-up of the book is just not conducive to my reading habits. I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez's writing style with long, descriptive sentences and hugely symbolic language, but it's hard to follow when I'm trying to read a few lines in between classes and such. So, I'm pondering my next book choice a bit. I'm thinking Casino Royale by Ian Fleming or taking a break from the 1,001 Books list for Isabel Allende's Zorro (I adore her...I'm sure I'll be writing a retroactive review of House of the Spirits sometime soon), which was recommended to me a few years ago.
And just a warning in general: reading and, therefore, posting will be a bit infrequent over the next few weeks as my last! semester winds down. I have some papers and tests (and job applications!) that are going to be more important than reading for fun over the next few weeks.

No wonder you commented on my post today! That was right up your alley, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove Zorro and all things Allende. You just can't go wrong with her.
I haven't read The Autumn of the Patriarch. Some Marquez I love and others - not so much.
Thanks again for stopping by today.
