I'm reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia-Marquez. I really wanted to like this 'masterpiece' but I'm ready to toss it into a donation bin.
For someone who's semi-ADHD with PTSD like myself, this '100 years of drivel' about death and incest is a torture to read. Can't keep the characters and the timeline straight; the past and present go backwards and forwards with a bunch of men named Jose. I don't understand this book. Maybe someone who gets it will enlighten me. Hope you're enjoying your "complicated" book, Sig.
