I'm 80 pages in and confused/unengaged. Am I too stupid to enjoy this or does it all eventually become impactful and profound later?
you're too stupid

Dang.

it settles, but you'll probably keep flipping to the family tree in the beginning. the story isnt supposed to proceed in a strictly linear fashion and youll get used to it soon.
it gets good.

It helps a lot if you skim through some Colombian history, since a lot of the events and characters are symbolic of major ideas and events

It's just a meme.

The first part is basically myth making and establishing the setting and leitmotifs that will follow the BuendÃa family to their doom. If anything, this is the part you'll enjoy the most especially while you still have Aureliano to follow around. It helps that there's only like 5 main characters right now, and that one of them has literally no personality. Just wait until you hit the halfway mark and there's 20 people crawling around that you don't really care about.
