Savoring each page. I must confess I know the ending. This book has intrigued me so much, I have been researching as I read it. I think I know the meaning of the end. One shot chance at this life so make it count. No repeats.

Utterly saddened by the ending. I just so wanted just one of the family members to achieve their hopes and dreams. In little ways, some do. Disaster and a looming past full of ghosts and a broken future don't leave room for growth. Meme's story was most disturbing. I loved her spirit. Enough. This book is enough. I do not need to think of it anymore. So consuming. The fate of Macondo mirrors that apocalyptic ending.

Colonel Aurelieno just died under the chestnut tree. This may be my favorite paragraph in literature besides the Chinamen description in CRANNER ROW, when J. Steinbeck described what the young boy saw inside the old man's eyes. I must break from reading to savor that paragraph a bit longer. ..

Engrossed beyond words. Remedios the Beauty just ascended through the clouds like Elijah ascended to heaven in the Bible. Ursula is my favorite character.

"They were pictures of lovers in lonely parks, with vignettes of hearts pierced with arrows and golden ribbon held by doves."
