"Invention of solitude", by Auster as well, is unputdownable too. It is duology (I can invent words, too) of a couple of novels based in his own life as a son and a father, respectively. Very emotive.
On the other hand, "the music of chance" is a total waste of time. I can hardly believe they're both by the same author. There's a movie based on that novel, that rates 6.7/10 on IMDB. Has anyone seen it?
Also, Auster wrote and directed "Lulu on the bridge". And despite the fact that the critics didn't like it, I loved it. It's the kind of things you say "well, it is crappy, but I like it!"
Thanks for the recommendation!
