One Hundred Years of Solitude

Fri Nov 20, 2009, 8:16 AM
  • Listening to: David Bowie
  • Reading: Frida
  • Drinking: Water glug glug
I have just finished this book and it was...I can't think of any words for it. It's amazing. I can't believe it's taken me this long to get into Garcia Marquez. Love it all. So beautiful, the reference to yellow, kind of like Proust and blue. I love the way the yellow butterflies follower Meme's lover everywhere. The ideas of solitude and the repetition and the lingering nostalgia just begs an art history essay. We'll see!

I am now on the Frida bio, hopefully I'll get some more Che reads soon as I get my dough.

What's new hmmm apart from my chest infection that still hasn't gone for 2 weeks now, I am apparently learning Mandarin Chinese courtesy of a new pal at the Chinese Art Centre, Manchester. I have a book but need the cds, going to hunt for some free copies methinks.

Brewery tour tomorrow, hopefully I won't cough up a lung before then....
