I mean I will have to say because I think it's the greatest novel of the last however long 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and please read the book rather than watch the Netflix version.

The best things said about it
If you said to me, what's the other To the Lighthouse, I would say One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez, and my introduction to magical realism.
A Hundred Years of Solitude, if someone hasn't read that, Borges' Labyrinths, Toni Morrison's Beloved, essentially anything by Faulkner, The Bear is a great one.
David Eagleman The Tim Ferriss Show · May 2023 And I think I also mentioned 100 Years of Solitude which is like you know a classic family Saga.
And then I went back to 100 Years of Solitude which touched me very deeply when I was in high school and Garcia Marcus's use of magic realism became the the tool became the model for my Approach.
And so I gave him uh Gabrielle Garcia marquez's 100 Years of Solitude for him to know okay if you've never written a book.

Why people recommend it
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez is a landmark novel that chronicles the multi-generational history of the Buendía family in the fictional town of Macondo and stands as a masterwork of magical realism. Salman Rushdie recommended the book on The Book Review and The Ezra Klein Show, praising it as the greatest novel of the last century and advising listeners to read the text rather than watch the Netflix adaptation. Nicole Lamey also mentioned the novel on The Book Review as a classic family saga. Cal Fussman explained on The Tim Ferriss Show that he gifted a copy of the book to Alex Bayan to demonstrate what an exceptional piece of literature looks like. Claire Hughes Johnson recommended it on the same podcast as a brilliant companion to To the Lighthouse and an ideal introduction to magical realism, while David Eagleman included it among his top reading suggestions from favored authors. In addition to these recommendations, Nick Bilton discussed the book on My First Million to illustrate the immense research authors undertake to build rich stories, and Colson Whitehead cited the novel on The Book Review as a major stylistic influence that deeply touched him in high school and shaped his own literary approach to magical realism.
