Hello, my fellow readers! Welcome to the schedule post of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. I'm sure we have all heard just how wonderful this book is so I hope you're excited as I am to dig into it! This read will be run by u/Tripolie and me.
If you would like to know a little something about the book before you start, here is the blurb from Goodreads:
The brilliant, bestselling, landmark novel that tells the story of the Buendia family, and chronicles the irreconcilable conflict between the desire for solitude and the need for love—in rich, imaginative prose that has come to define an entire genre known as "magical realism."

Short but enticing!
