It didn't ruin reading per se, but One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez blew my mind and took me to places I never thought a book would be able to.

Epic masterpiece is the least I can say about this book.

The magic realism of Marquez made me love Latin American literature, I think one of the best out there.

I am a Literature professor and I still cannot find the proper words to describe how this book made me feel, it was like I entered the pages and left my body at my bed.
