Reading List


As you can tell from my first post my Colombian knowledge is pretty limited, so I've made a summer reading list:

From Barranquillero Gabriel Garcia Marquez:
In Evil Hour
One Hundred Years of Solitude
The Autumn of the Patriarch
Chronicle of a Death Foretold
Love in the Time of Cholera
The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor
The General in His Labyrinth
Of Love and Other Demons
Memories of My Melancholy Whores

From Colombian born journalist Silvana Paternostro:
In the Land of God and Man: A Latin Woman's Journey

An Oprah book:
Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende
(About a Chilean woman, but what the heck)

I'm going to try to finish Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden but I'm having a hard time getting into it, plus it's not making me feel very good about moving to Colombia.

Any other suggestions?
