I -do- enjoy the magic realism, the idea that a young man's blood could poor out the door and travel down the streets through the town to his mothers house to alert her of his death. That's what I like about his books.

(Remember, UofMean - I read everything I can get my hands on.)
One Hundred Years of Solitude, albeit the work that earned him the Nobel Price, is not his best. I love magic realism also, but no one comes close to García Márquez.

You may want to try, "No One Writes to the Colonel", one of his lesser known works but one of my favorites.

I have read all his books in English and Spanish just because I could

I also read anything I can get my hands on, seriously, so this makes me think that perhaps there is hope for you...kidding!
