"One Hundred Years of Solitude", by Gabriel García Márquez

I was a bit reticent of writing about "One Hundred Years of Solitude", as it seemed quite unusual, at least compared to the other books that I've read. First of all, it reminded me of those texts from school, full of symbols and metaphors - and not that much action, where you had to pay attention to some details as they provided important clues for understanding the overall book.

"My Little Husband", by Pascal Bruckner

After a break of roughly six months, I came across another excellent book by Pascal Bruckner, "My Little Husband" ("Mon Petit Mari"). It strongly resembles "The Divine Child", especially in style - very funny in some parts, but also quite deep.
