prior to my 'accident' I did. now, after the brain injury, ...meh.
but GGM always sucked.
Disagree. I actually haven't been able to make it through 100 years of solitude but love in a time of cholera is one of the greatest novels of the 20th century IMO.

Did you read Love in a Time of Cholera? Its not mystical realism at all.
Nice class. I personally love what I've read by GGM, but even if I didn't care for what he wrote, I wouldn't feel the need to click on this thread and write "Dont. Fucking. Care. read them. meh."
Our suspicions that the New York Times Review of Books 30 year love affair with him was partly due to his writing and partly due to trendy political dinner party chatter,
and our loving East Coast relatives propensity for putting his books high on the best part of the bookshelf in the front room....
and our nagging suspicion that his books were good, but not SO good as to crowd out other fantastic writers from the limelight....
and suddenly in today's New York Times obit...there he is with his 'lifelong good friend Fidel Castro'....and....all the little signs come together.
