    Notes:
    Viewed on 29 January, 2008.||"The New York Times described Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) as "the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race." This is the most ludicrous gesture of literary hype I have ever encountered... The book is so in love with its own cleverness that it is profoundly unreadable."
