One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Continuing my reading of classics I missed out on. Thank God this had a family tree in the front matter because I could not keep track of the Jose Arcadios and Aurelianos of each generation, though the repetitive naming was a good literary show of the cyclical issues of this family. I enjoy magical realism and this delivered but it was a slow read for me.

In TV, I finished Only Murders in the Building (season 4). I think the murderer reveal was a bit weak but overall a fun season. I'm in it for the hilarity of the Charles/Oliver/Mabel squad.
