First Paul Auster I read was The Brooklyn Follies, which I quite enjoyed. Then I read In the Country of Last Things, and I really enjoyed that. This led me to believe that I liked Paul Auster, and that Paul Auster was good. So I then read the New York Trilogy and Man in the Dark. This led me to believe that maybe fuck Paul Auster.
Someone bought me 4 3 2 1 for a birthday present. It's massive. On past experience I have a 50/50 chance of liking it, but I don't like those odds going into a near 1000 page novel.

I've been on a bit of a Paul Auster binge of late. He's one of those writers that everyone always told me I'd love but I've never got around to reading. Just finished Invisible which was excellent and now moving on to the New York Trilogy.
