Congrats to my buddy the Constructed Genius (if you ask me, she's not under construction... she's already a genius) for correctly choosing Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the famous Nobel Prize winning author. The fireworks are for you, my dear!!! YAY! And it isn't even any holiday (that I know of... we wouldn't be here if it were, I suppose). Yes, he is from Colombia. I myself was made, but not born in Colombia. Anyhoo... Oprah put her seal on his book, "One hundred years of solitude." It's a great book (with or without Miss Oprah's seal (no offense to the Mighty O. I would not want to incur her wrath (or that of any of her minions, for that matter))... but, the man does have a Nobel Prize, for gosh sake. I think that trumps the O sticker any day).
NSU also carries GGM's memoir. According to NOVACAT, it should be on the shelves (here end my ASLRITC plugs for the day). Please don't hurt yourselves running to the shelves all at once. You can always ILL it if you are not fortunate enough to make it there in time (O.K. the shameless plugs end here for sure).
So, there you have it. 1st Honorable Hispanic mentioned. Many, many to go...
