And it\u2019s really helpful especially because this novel is like super long and confusing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about the Buendia bloodline. They all lived in the same house that Ursula had built. The great great great great great great granny, Ursula, lived the longest. She even surpassed her sons and great great great great grandsons. She\u2019s my favorite character. She\u2019s a strong woman who wants nothing but to to keep the family intact.<\/p>\n<p>There were times, while reading, that I really laughed hard. I didn\u2019t know that Marquez was that kind of writer. But most of the time, I cried. Especially when Ursula became blind and NO ONE even fcking noticed it. Damn the younger family members. They were as insensitive as a steel plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know but I just have a soft spot for old women and men. When Ursula was already old, my grandmother was all that I could think about.<\/p>\n<p>Miss ko na si inang.<\/p>\n<p>What was shocking about this story is that the books that Melquiades, a gypsy who was Jose Arcadio Buendia\u2019s (Ursula\u2019s husband) friend, gave to the family when he first came to Macondo (the family\u2019s village) written in Sanskrit which the family couldn\u2019t understand because their language is Spanish (Aureliano, the last in the bloodline was the one who deciphered the books and found out the truth) was <strong>actually a history of the family, written by Melquiades himself, down to the most trivial details, ONE HUNDRED YEARS AHEAD OF TIME!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just mind-boggling you know like my mind was blown off literally. This novel is fantasy-realism. I don\u2019t know how you call it but it\u2019s fantasy-realism. You get my point.<\/p>\n<p>And the phrase \u201cper omnia secula seculorum\u201d was used too many times and Google said it means \u201cinto all generations of generations\u201d\/\u201dfor ever and ever\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fantastic novel!<\/p>\n<p>Macondo has stayed with me forever.<\/p>\n<p>This might be a helpful tool for those who read the book:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/28389f885b9a4a6b44741f8a2d2584b1\/tumblr_mj9le9qM2L1qgu5b6o6_1280.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>bookporn: rachanneee: Book Diary: 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez This is the first time in my entire life that I actually took notes while reading.
