“Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it,
for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author’s words reverberating in your head.”
— Paul Auster
Paul Auster is one of my favorite authors. I do love many of his books and his curious way of writing but I also love that some of his books were flops. I feel like that proves he is writing from a place that is real. Not all of our ideas are hits but as long as we are keeping it real we are real.
Did you read Sunset Park? I thought that was one of his best in years.
I have not – thanks i”ll add it to my “To Read” list.
