The autobiography of Gabriel García Márquez, which much resembles his novels. A thick read, to rebuild an attention span laid siege by cellular phones and the internet and poor viewing choices on NetFlix.
Anyways, I'm enjoying, it's nice to get out of ones head for a bit and - while I've always enjoyed his books, I'm discovering him to be very relatable in his autobiography. Which is perhaps odd, in that we're in no ways the same, but that is the point of reading, to meet different people without running the risk of having to know them...

I liked this, he's an easy style of telling you stories that "happened to him", "First Person Singular", easy to read, and always with a little twist.

I'm not a fan, particularly, of his style of writing, and this took a bit of getting into, but there's some intriguing ideas in it well tied together. He's a feverish imagination, and he grooms you to accept his fantastical narrative by providing you numerous rabbit holes (conspiracies, forteana, etc) to research and verify first.
I can see why he has a cult following. Good.

Maybe if I were a brooding 20 year old college student with black lipstick. But I'm not and so this rather sadly disappointed. All novels have their time and place - and this one missed it.
