pickNot entirely sure how I feel with this one. It wasn‘t what I had in mind, but it was good nonetheless. It got to be a bit repetitive at times for me and so it didn‘t have me all hooked. Either way, the plot was interesting and I enjoyed it.

pickI love reading about the late 1800s early 1900s era and this was a really interesting read!

pickFor my rdg grp on wed we're doing a Auster/Hustvedt combo.With art heavy 'what I loved' + now with this deep description of silent films I can vividly imagine their very intellectual chats over their cornflakes. Here David zimmer has lost his wife + 2 sons in a plane crash, in his grief he writes a work abt a silent film star who disappeared at the height of his fame. When a later purports be from his wife arrives he is drawn into a mystery.
