I very much like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, his books are all based in Latin America.<br />thanks for sharing<br />Martinemartinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260048849955077472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-33444927671050222752010-10-21T19:26:06.201+02:002010-10-21T19:26:06.201+02:00I would have to say my favorites are from South Am...I would have to say my favorites are from South America. Gabreil Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende. I love the magic realism that is so interwoven in the classic South American literature. I really want you to read "One hundred Years Of Solitude", it is a classic and considered one of the best books ever written from that country. It is my favorite book ever. Marquez is the author and he has written many more, and also fine short stories. It is just your style, with lots of magical realism that saddens and uplifts, and lots of quirky characters. It has been translated into many languages and should bbe easy to find.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-77755307883850697372010-10-21T19:19:58.287+02:002010-10-21T19:19:58.287+02:00Oh, I forgot about Michael Ende.

I used to read a lot of them, but due to OLD AGE can not come up with a name right now of the authors I loved. maybe later it will pop in my head and i can come back. now i might have read one that was translated into english and not known it was from another country.MadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-13875166998153798042010-10-21T14:30:57.002+02:002010-10-21T14:30:57.002+02:00What a great selection so books!
