Book VIII: Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, published 1982, 120 pages.
Garcia Marquez is a great author to read. His writing just flows so nicely. This is the third book I have read by him originally turned on to his works from my old roommate Brennan. So far I have not been disappointed. I mean The dude won a noble prize (Marquez that is not Brennan) so I figured he is always worth a read. They only award those things to really talented people. Maybe I will get one for my wonderful works here at Surfingruinedmylife.net then again probably not. Plus I scored it at a yard sale for like a quarter.
This novel is South American Literature thus taking us on the quite the reading tour of the world in the last three book club entries. Its a short read and truth be told I am almost half way through it so if you want to follow along you better get reading.
Summary of Book VII: Boule De Suif & Selected Stories
Book VII was a very entertaining and enjoyable read. Then again what would one expect from a protege of Flaubert. Most of the stories are no more then ten to fifteen pages ranging from topics such as war, erotica, social interaction, romance and adventure. It is definitely a great collection of short stories and I whole heatedly recommend you give it a read if you have not already (what you mean you dont religiously keep up with the Lisanti Book Club reading? Astounding!) .
