You should put One Hundred Years of Solitude on your 'intend to read' list, Mat, it's excellent.

Unmarked is essentially no opinion either way, I didn't look any of them up, just went with what I already knew.

I'd add it tot eh list, but it's huge. Mebbe someday, when I'm a gentleman of leisure...

Well it's much better than some of the books already on your list so prioritise it! It won a nobel prize, I think.
Actually, I admit, I've not read any of those books... but I'm still sure One Hundred Years of Solitude is better than them. Even His Dark Materials, which I have read.
