Ben Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 'The Colombian Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez, who unleashed the worldwide boom in Spanish literature with his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, has died at the age of 87.' More here. What awful news to hear we've lost a great novelist. What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it. - Gabriel García Márquez Rest in peace, Gabriel.

Chrissy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I adore his books, and am sad to read that such a character has gone. His books live on always. Rest In Peace indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have to say I've never read his books, I only know of him... But may he rest in peace. It's really not been a good 1,5 years for authors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleonora Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I read 100 Years of Solitude when I was 16, for my spanish class. I immediately fell in love with that book and Marquez style. I read some of his other works, and I really appreciated them, but 100 Years has a special place in my heart and will always have. When I want to hide from reality, Macondo is always there to welcome my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelee Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Rest in peace. But I still have not read 100 years. But as a tribute, I will add that novel to my wishlist at my online bookstore website so I will remember to order it next time I order books.

bobblybear Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 May he rest in peace. I have One Hundred Years of Solitude on my shelf, waiting to be read. I've had it for about 10 years, but for some reason I just haven't picked it up. I must get around to reading it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadya Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I've only read on of his books, the famous 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'. It was enough to admire him for the rest of my life. May he rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
