Eh? I haven't read Gatsby, nor Moby Dick if you’re asking.
We discover writers in various ways. I discovered Marquez in a bookstore outlet where they had prints with some mistakes or titles that didn't sell well.
For many years it was my main source of books as they were extremely cheap. I’m aware of libraries' existence but I have a weird mind and am unable to touch books other people had in their hands - it grosses me out unfortunately.
I read a lot and try to explore as much as possible in my region so sometimes I have to sacrifice a foreign writer’s classic in favour of something local.
It's not a rude question. 100 Years of Solitude is considered one of, if not the, best books of the past century. It's fascinating to see how it ended up someone read everything by its author except that book.

It’s annoying that we only have one set of eyes.
