And then I was thinking about how much I wish I knew what other books people thought everyone should read. Anyway, my suggestion for today of books that everyone should read is:</p> <p>Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Chronicle of a Death Foretold</p> <p>I first read this book for my high school AP English class in senior year and I like it just as much now as I did then. I was a little suspicious of it at first, because the year before I had read "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" and I didn't like the short story much, but Chronicle soon won me over. It is rather like reading about the Titanic- so many ways that the disaster should have been avoided and, yet, somehow it still comes to pass.</p> <p>The only odd thing is that I still have the same copy as I did in high school and it has all my notes for my paper in the margin and lots of underlining. </p>
