Until last night, I looked up words from sentence to sentence while reading "Cien años de soledad", by Gabriel García Márquez. But while waiting at Logan Airport for my flight to Zurich, I decided to read whole paragraphs at once and only note the words I wanted to look up at the end of each paragraph. This turned out to work very well, and it reminded me of a similar stage in my process of learning to read German-language literature back in the late 1980s. After about ten pages, I finished a chapter, and I could have read more, but I was too heartbroken about the death of Colonel Aureliano Buendía. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 1 July 2025)
