Mrrrzy and Dani, you may wish to note that, according to Wikipedia, Gabriel Garcia Marquez experienced an awful case of writers' block after producing his fourth novel and only emerged from it after reading Juan Rulfo's Pedro Paramo, which I referred to in an earlier posting. Marquez does not seem to have regarded such emergence and such reading as purely coincidental occurrences. His next work was, of course, One Hundred Years of Solitude.
