It's been so long since I dove into this book but it was a very memorable experience. Maybe it's time to revisit this haunting and magical classic.

第一次读的时候应该是在大学,距离这次读应该已经有七八年了。首读的时候两个情节最难忘:
Spoiler美人Remedies升天,以及最后一人破解了Melquiades留下的关于家族的秘密并瓦解成灰尘。
二读很像一次寻宝历险,没有了首次读的时候那种担心忘记人物或者忘记情节的紧迫感,很平静地去挖掘这些年来忘记的细节。从3月中下读到5月,不知道会不会是今年最难忘的回忆之一。Jake和Marlon的播客说读完《百年孤独》的人跟读之前是两个不同的人。
这次读留下了很多笔记,标记了所有让我笑出声的段落,标记了所有让我印象深刻的魔幻现实出现的时刻,标记了写爱情写得让我心痛的部分,标记了Rebeca闭关之后鲜有的出现的场面。读完之后经常摸着这本书睡觉,电子书永远赢不过纸质书。
二读非常喜欢的场景:
Spoiler
1. José Arcadio自杀,血流来流去流流流流到Úrsula门前,尸体的火药味怎么也除不掉,墓地一直飘散着火药味
2. José Arcadio(神甫)在酒水装满的泳池被杀,still thinking about Amaranta
3. 17个Aureliano上校的儿子的最后一个,被追杀了大半辈子,跑遍大半个世界后最终还是在马孔多被瞄准了额头上的十字被杀了
4. Úrsula在晚年才意识到没有吸过自己奶水的、不流淌同一血液的Rebeca才具有无畏的勇气,无一人比得上她
5. 罢工导致三千工人在车站前被枪杀,但历史被完美掩盖,José Arcadio Segundo为此陷入疯狂
6. 双胞胎的葬礼不小心弄混棺材导致下葬到错误(正确)的坟墓
7. Amaranta Úrsula和Aureliano把神智不清的老到不行的Úrsula当作玩具来玩,“我还没死!”
8. Fernanda的唠叨&4年大雨后的贫穷&Aureliano Segundo的悲惨晚年


让一让,母牛们,生命短暂啊。
Cease, cows, life is short.

Written with beautiful imagery. The descriptions of the fantastical aspects of the novel are written in a such a way that the reader just accepts them as fact without questioning their being fantasy.
