Give it away


21. Paul Auster "Travels in the Scriptorium: A Novel"
A friend loaned me this book. She told me that as soon as she finished it she threw it across the room in anger. I understand why.

Auster's 'novel' (at 160 pages, it reads more like a novella) is a wonderfully quick and engrossing read for the first 158 pages. Like all reviews I've read, it's the ending that you either love or hate. I'm leaning towards hate. There isn't much to say. I recommend the book with the same warning I received.
