I just got into reading books in Spanish. What are the best books en español? Who are your favorite authors?

The last author I read in Spanish was Alfonso Reyes. You should read Visión de Anáhuac (essay) and/or La cena (short story). They are both amazing, but I don't how good your Spanish is. Still, give it a try and see if you like him.
Isabel Allende is just a watered down García Marquez, OP. Don't ever put her horrible books in this board again or I'll get sad.
Chile has a lot of better authors, try José Donoso or Manuel Rojas. El vaso de leche is a good short story, I highlt recommend it.

Rayuela

I'm about 100 pages in. It's not the worst, but the characters are shitty and unrelatable. It frequently goes too far with the magic also. Might put it down soon. Thanks for the recs.
Pedro Páramo by Rulfo
El Túnel by Sabato
...
Rayuela by Julio Cortazar.
Obviously Isabel Allende isn't exactly high literature, but La Ciudad de las Bestias was fantastic for helping my Spanish reading skills. Easy YA writing but interesting enough to keep me studying without getting bored.
