A Hundred Years of Trying

I have been trying to finish "One Hundred Years of Solitude" for about 3 years now. I pick it up, put it down, get lost in another book.. It's not that I don't like it (I love it!).. I just get wrapped up in something else. But it's bugging me. So today, I'm starting at the beginning and I WILL finish this book. There's only two books that I haven't finished in my life (from boredom and disgust, respectively) - "Little Women" and "Naked Lunch". Since "One Hundred Years of Solitude" falls into neither of those catagories, it should be finished. What better day when I have many other more important things to do and have searched my list of menial tasks for ANYTHING to supplant my required task of cleaning the spare bedroom.. than this one!

No matter what the reason, everyone should have a personal book list which only includes "Little Women" and "Naked Lunch"

"Little Women" is a fantastic book and really should be read! It really is the first book that I read as a child that explored Feminism without all the bra burning and hoopla. I think I will mail you my copy. Love Mom xxoo
