but I haven't actually read 100 Years of Solitude (mostly because I want to read it in Spanish, and I've been trying to improve my Spanish), which does reputedly have a number of aspects that make it tricky, and less enjoyable for some. If you haven't read any Marquez yet, a book like Love in Times of Cholera is perhaps better to start with, far less controversial (but I guess not as much of a classic for precisely that reason).
Planned reads for 2010.

It's mostly things I've bought and not read yet. Other than that, there's no coherent theme.

I'm actually the same as Tim. Haven't read them since I did it in 5th grade.

Okay, I misread Tim's response and thought he was thinking about a year of Russian literature.

However, good for someone who needs a simple book to help with learning the language.

I suppose if you're interested in the development of the thriller/adventure novel, Cooper is okay.
