And I love the sound of that 'sliver of glass' - sounds like my cup of tea!jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181038873568527264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23469039.post-30756404944860836462007-12-28T21:53:00.000-08:002007-12-28T21:53:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23469039.post-81408687455734874672007-12-24T07:57:00.000-08:002007-12-24T07:57:00.000-08:00I think Auster is just 'one of those writers.' I ...I think Auster is just 'one of those writers.' I read a handful of books by him having more or less the same thoughts as you, then at some point I hit critical mass and started to really love him. I think this came on with The Book of Illusions, so try that one.<BR/><BR/>Yes I got the Sei mini-book too, and read it yesterday. Very enjoyable and with a sliver of glass at its heart. Interesting to see how this "Chapter xvii" meets up with the rest of the book, apparently called The Gargoyle, and out in Sep 08.<BR/><BR/>Anyway happy Christmas jem and look forward to sharing more bookviews with you over the next year!John Selfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761816149593541133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23469039.post-63135443126893102702007-12-23T10:41:00.000-08:002007-12-23T10:41:00.000-08:00What a nice round up.
