Brian: Ireland has a good education system? YOU WHAT??
OK, I know lots of stuff now. This will not be reflected in my grades
because none of the stuff I know was examined and I predicted all the
wrong questions. I am now a shivering, babbling, demented, nervous
wreck, who doesn't even have any desire to celebrate the end of the
whole ordeal. I just want to go to sleep for a few years.
If you call an education system that encourages cramming, hysteria,
neurosis, rote learning and regurgitation GOOD...
I will never be the same...they have stolen my soul DAMMIT! (OK, slight
exaggeration...)
ANYWAY...

beautiful names!
My point is this - I was given a book for Christmas called 'One Hundred
Years of Solitude' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It looks very ominous, and
I haven't got around to reading it yet, and I thought I'd ask if I
should. The blurb says he lives in Mexico City, and I hate to lump all
South American literature together, especially after the whole Paz
book-burning fiasco, but do any of you people have opinions on it?
