translation thoughts to words and making it sound nice while doing it.

I've only read Borges and Marquez but I admired both of them. I think One Hundred Years was my favorite.

People just have a hard time thinking of it as the Roman empire. Seems to be pretty adored on here though

Read the reviews that aren't one star now.

What did you enjoy most about it?

I lay dying upon the earth with the sword in my body, and raised my
hands to kill the slut of a murderess, but she slipped away from me;
she would not even close my lips nor my eyes when I was dying, for
there is nothing in this world so cruel and so shameless as a woman
when she has fallen into such guilt as hers was.

A few light taps upon the pane made him turn to the window. It had begun to snow again. He watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. The time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.

they may be just smaller trends under modernism but I don't see whats wrong with examining them and watching how things play out. That would be like labeling every genre that branched from rock music just rock

Post-postmodernism
Meta-modernism
Hypermodernity

Are some of the names people have attached to whatever has replaced it. Just give it a couple decades to let the dust settle and we will start to see the dominant trends.

click on some of the artists or paintings from whatever year, I just find it fun branching off into different periods of art and seeing the progression

I like going through the progression of art. It really says a lot about the culture of the period that painted the work as well.
