ailbheBold, I've read it, I'm quite sure. Italics, I've started it but either gave up in disgust or can't remember finishing it. Who is Jacqueline Wilson? Is she the children's author I've been looking at and thinking "Hmm, new teen books, really can't face likely prospect of them being appalling, will read them if my kids decide they want to" about? I have an image of pink, angles, yellow, and lurid green handbags.

Then she's not new!

the 100
Date: 2003-05-19 05:24 am (UTC)hm. i shouldn't have said that. now i am thinking of how to combine the two. *shudder*. i am frankly amazed that so many people not only read, but love gabriel garcía márquez. one thing is certain, that's not a result one would get if one did a big 100 poll in the US, *snicker*.

Date: 2003-05-19 07:48 am (UTC)Respect!
(But did reading it cause you apply to do a PhD on the figure of the angel in twentieth-century NZ fiction? - Not that I actually embarked on said PhD, but it's the thought that counts...)
Re: the 100

Didn't actually get as far as the Leaving Cert, so a PhD is some distance in the, ah, distant future...
Re: the 100
Date: 2003-05-19 03:05 pm (UTC)Thesis is increasingly unlikely to be written at this stage, but I'll happily rabbit on about the subject any time you care to listen!

A.
Re: the 100
Date: 2003-05-19 04:29 pm (UTC)As for "The Windeaters", thanks so much for the offer (and I would treat the book with the reverence it deserves, I assure you), but the standard time delay between my deciding to read a book and actually getting round to it is enough to freeze thy young blood etc., so I think I'd be more comfortable looking for it online.
And the grand-daughter thing? Yes, indeed.
Re: the 100
Date: 2003-05-19 06:05 am (UTC)Different strokes...
(Disclosure: I tried reading A Hundred Years of Solitude and failed miserably; tried again three years later and raced through it, loving every word. Haven't read any other Márquez.)
