so many aurelianos

This afternoon I finished One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. What can I even say about this book? It is magical realism. It is extraordinary. I think it will become part of the mythology that I live with, understand life through. Every page has sentences that amaze. It is like reading Spanish poetry. Perhaps because it is Spanish poetry. I would love to read it again. But oh man, when 20 characters share the name Aureliano, and about 7 other characters share the name Jose Arcadio....well comrades, it does get confusing here and there. 383 pages.
