One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, awed me. Marquez's narrative style is luscious and patterned after a nearly lost oral tradition of storytelling. He uses magic-realism, describing places that could never exist and things that could never really happen. But, if you suspend your disbelief and hang on tight, its so real. Sigh. I'm in love with language and novels all over again.
