I like Isabel Allende too. My favorite was House of Spirits. I read it a couple of times.
I liked Garcia Marquez "One Hundred Years of Solitude". I never finished "Love in the time of Cholera". That was one of those books I started and then couldn't quite finish. Maybe I should try again.Thanks for all the great recommendations.
Lately I've read "The Third Policeman" which I heard about here on the board and it was great. I kept thinking how could I not have read this before? And then it started to seem vaguely familiar like maybe I had :)
I also read a "crazy chick" book as I like to call them. "The Moth Diaries" not only had a crazy chick but a vampire too sort of. I really liked it. It didn't get really great reviews but I read it straight through and kept thinking about it later.
I liked a book I read awhile back that seemed a little like magical realism with a Celtic twist. "The Lambs of God" was about three nuns who lived alone and untouched by the outside world in an abandoned nunnery where there faith took some strange turns. It had fairy tales and myths and magic and something to offend the faithful and the faithless I suppose. But it was a good book.
