Based on a couple of people's recommendations I picked up One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I started reading it last Friday on my bus ride to and from work and I am at the last chapter today - I am really enjoying it, can't seem to put it down and I will be looking for other books by this author. I didn't realise it but I had read another one of his books ages ago - Love in the Time of Cholera- and I am glad that I rediscovered this author
ellis - I will lend it to you when I am done
