One Hundred Years of Solitude
by Gabriel García Márquez

I love books evocative of a place or culture and this book is so poetic. It’s about life in South America and expresses everyday things from a not everyday perspective. It took over my life and when I finally finished it I was bereft. Off-the-wall and unique.
