hey this board is full of big time intellectuals who like to read books so you might like books by this man
i would recommend: "The Gospel According to Jesus Christ" "The Stone Raft" "Blindness" yeah, pick them up if you can if you garcia-marquez, magical realism in general, or just good books you might like this guy his "Gospel" is slightly blasphemous (but, imo, intensely spiritual)...just a warning anyway all you kids with B&N gift certificates, use $8 to get one of these |

um yeah i'm realyl smart so i read stuff that is smart
yeah so anyway LOL "gospel" is about jesus' life told thru his own eyes; it gives a more human story of jesus as opposed to a divine story but it defintely does feel magical; it's a very pretty book; i didn't think it was overly preachy "blindness" is about a city stricken w/ white blindness; the government tries to quarantine the victims in an abandoned insane asylum; things go wild; it's way awesome so yeah |
