    Um...I think it's called "onehundred years of solitude", but yes it's very good.

    I can recommend "The Physician" and "Shaman" by Noah Gordon, two of my all-time favourites and "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller. Oh, and if you like fantasy and a good laugh check out Terry Pratchett's discworld novels!

    Something I'd recommend to anyone would be anything by the French author Bernard Werber - he's my favorite, and a fucking genius!! The thing is, even though his books are translated in more than 20 languages, including English, of course, it's hard to find them in that language!
