I did read Marquez's short stories in Collected Stories during senior year of high school and liked them a lot. But I could never bring myself to pick up Cholera or Solitude despite owning both.

Sykes/Montgomery-Massingberd (Great Houses of Ireland)

O'Brien (How to be a Man): edit: I stopped after 10 pages due to the extremely bad (pseudo-funny, journalistic) style of writing that is very annoying and redundant, i.e. lacking in content.

Wolfgang Bauer (China und die Hoffnung auf Glück)

and others...

I am now on A Clash of Kings

I think I might take a break before starting the next two books and read something else (the last 2 pages of this thread look promising) so that I don't get so sucked into the song of ice and fire series that I hit the withdrawal wall when I finish.
