It's legitimate, if you like Darcy! My problem is that my book crushes would be insufferable as a love interest IRL, so I'm not sure I'd trade places with their wives(/husbands)/girl(/boy)friends/lovers/whatever.
In my school they had us reading one book of García Márquez per year (understandable, because Colombia is our neighbor country and it's the closest Big Author we have). So I read a big variety of his works, not only magical realism. I don't blame you for not getting into 100 Years because most people can't, it's just fucking confusing and redundant. I sort of liked it when I was 15, but I doubt I could stomach it again. I actually had to memorize the characters' names for the reading comprehension exam in order to pass.
I didn't like American Gods itself, but I find the setting fascinating. I'd probably skip to the parts about the gods because the main character is bland as fuck.
I've seen people either loving or disliking Name of the Wind, so I still want to check it out to see it for myself. The paperback was quite cheap for its size.
