"100 Years of Solitude" sat on our bookshelf for years and I never touched it. Then I went to visit my cousin in Guatemala City and saw it on their bookshelf. For some reason it looked much more appealing there. I read it throughout our travels in Guat. and it remains one of my favorite reads. The ending is by far my favorite of any book I've read.
