Some interesting choices... I definitely agree with you on 100 Years...

I remember you recommending Italo Calvino. I found If on a Winter's Night a Traveler but haven't started it yet. I'm looking forward to it though.

Have you ever read Lolita?

If on a Winter's Night a Traveler is one of my all-time favorites. I hope you like it; it's a trip. I'm afraid I haven't read any Nabakov, though I did see the newer movie version that got everyone all upset.

Wow--in photo form, even--how artsy!

One Hundred Years of Solitude rounded out my book list for last year. I liked it, but I liked Love in the Time of Cholera better.

Right now I'm reading Marquez's Living To Tell The Tale (the first book of his autobiography), and while it's still fascinating I keep waiting for that ol' Marquez "fantasy realism" to kick in..

Wow. I feel bad. I've only heard of four of those and only read one. I did see the Out of Africa movie though. :)

I'm not a huge fan of the Erdrich. However, Lewis, Dostoeyevsky, Marquez (Garcia Marquez?), and Orwell are favorites. Paton's okay, too.

Added back. :)
