Meeyowsa, will it ruin it if I read R without having read all the ones in between? I'm not very far yet, so I could still put it down and go for an earlier one. What do you think?

I can't say for sure because I don't know if there is a shocking turn of events or reference to a prior event in "R" that would ruin the earlier ones for you. probably not. even if there is, you'd probably forget about it because there are so many to read. and Grafton does a good job of setting up Kinsey's character in each book that you don't need to read the earlier ones to appreciate this one. so I say go ahead and read "R" then go back and start with "A." have fun!

100 Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez

He is an amazing writer, the only thing that I had trouble with were the similar character names, had to keep checking the family tree to see who was who.

100 Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I haven't read it, but I've read The colonel doesn't have who writes to him (or something like that, I don't know how is the English title), book which is the story of one of the characters of 100 Years of solitude after a few years. I didn't like it so much, but I suppose you may like it if you are liking 100 years...
