“One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez was one of the novels that we had to read in our undergraduate “classical literature” class (13 years ago). We read this as a class and discussed it. At the beginning, all the Spanish names in the book were very confusing to follow, especially who was talking when. However, at the end I loved this novel because of the fascinating story. I had to read many other novels in my two English and two literature classes but this book was the best. I still remember its main character Ursula. May the soul of the writer of this novel (Gabriel García Márquez) rest in peace.

ইংরেজিতে না প্লিজ
সাধারণত বাংলাদেশের পাবলিক বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়গুলোতে বাংলায় পড়ানো হয়। সেখানে ইংলিশের চর্চা নেই বললেই চলে। কিন্তু এসব প্রতিষ্ঠান থেকে ব্যাচেলর বা মাস্টার্স ডিগ্রি নিয়েই অনেক বাংলাদেশী মনে করে তারা যেহেতু সর্বোচ্চ ডিগ্রি নিয়ে ফেলেছে এখন অবশ্যই ইংরেজিতে লেখার যোগ্যতা অর্জন করে...
Sequestration Sickens Me

I am pretty sure you deal with customer service representatives if you live in the USA. Most of the times it is their fault that you have to call them, for example, you bought something online but they sent a wrong/bad item, they charged something you don’t recognize,...
