Junebook 15: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Yes, this is a classic that I had to read for school but I loved it. The writing was so rich and beautiful.

There are about two pages in the early part of the book where the author just describes the scenery and it paints such a beautiful picture! 

There are a lot of symbols and important themes in the book, which I'm not going to get into here, but it is well worth the read. It is basically a life story...it tells the story of a family and the generations in the family. Their mistakes, their successes, and the major things that happen in their life. It may sound normal and boring, but once you start reading, you can appreciate the beauty of the book.
