Look forward reading this. I like Paul Auster. I picked it up at the Convention i Gøteborg.
I finally got around to read this. Maybe I should have read this earlier. A great book.
This is on it's way to Greece.
Thank you so much zimort for this double RABCK!! The book arrived together with "The tales of Beedle the Bard", both from my wishlist. I've read two other books by Paul Auster and really admired his writing, so I'm looking forward to reading this one as well.
This is an interesting and generally well written book, but left me somewhat unsatisfied. The author brings up various plot ideas but seems uncertain what to do with them. Overall it was quite slow, though with an unexpectedly tense ending. Definitely not a favorite, but I'm still eager to read more by Auster.
Thanks again zimort!
Thanks again zimort!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I received this as party of the A author bookring, but am sending this on in a bundle as I owe the recipient a book as part of the Southern Cross Bookexchange.
It is a small book and as postage is expensive and I am now unemployed size does matter!
I read this in a day, and really enjoyed it. A little confused at first, novel within a novel and the long footnotes that need to be read. It rewarded the effort.
Online review: Several months into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, novelist Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in Brooklyn and buys a blue notebook. It is September 18, 1982, and for the next nine days Orr will live under the spell of this blank book, trapped inside a world of eerie premonitions and bewildering events that threaten to destroy his marriage and undermine his faith in reality. Paul Auster's mesmerizing eleventh novel reads like an old-fashioned ghost story. But there are no ghosts in this book - only flesh-and-blood human beings, wandering through the haunted realms of everyday life. Oracle Night is a narrative tour de force that confirms Auster's reputation as one of the boldest, most original writers at work in America today.

Thanks, Edwardstreet.
I'm trying to ruthlessly reduce my book numbers. They have migrated from shelves to stalagmites sitting on the floor. Something has to give, & this is one of them.
