Hurray! I have a library card! I searched the library for a while and found myself 2 books from the list – Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (rated number 10 on the list); and 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I’m pretty sure I’ll whiz through Jane Eyre – I’m not sure why I’ve never read it before, being a fan of Jane Austen and similar novels. Besides, I already know most of what happens purely through assimilation – references to Mr Rochester and the mad wife in the attic are everywhere!
100 Years I’m not so sure about. I have previously read Love in the Time of Cholera by the same author, and slogged through it without really being able to say I liked or disliked it. In fact, I’m now racking my brains to remember what happens and all I’m getting is a vague memory of a parrot in a palm tree, and it dying somehow, causing some distress? There is the distinct possibility I’m thinking of the wrong book, but that’s what I recall.
I will report back once I’m fully into one or the other…
