What Book Are You
You're One Hundred Years of Solitude!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Lonely and struggling, you've been around for a very long time.
Conflict has filled most of your life and torn apart nearly everyone you know. Yet there
is something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world. You love life all
the more for having seen its decimation. After all, it takes a village.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
One of my all-time favorite books for sheer oddness and "magic realism--" that odd term for Latin American fiction that tends to mean whatever the person wielding it wants it to mean for the time. But surreal or supernatural edginess is how I tend to think of it.

Amazing, fast, and more accurate than I might have liked: The Great Gatsby!
