What's the one about the kid that can levitate? Is that Book of Illusions? I forget, I'm pretty sure I have that Bovine Spongiform Encaphalitis thing.

I liked "Girl..." but it's not as great as some of his other stuff. If you want to see him in Phil Dick mode, try Amnesia Moon. If you want him being non fantastical, try Motherless Brooklyn, which is amazing, about a Detective with Turrets Syndrome.

What other Auster books have you read? What do you recommend? I might buy on recomendation, but don't lend me a book, I'm really scatter brained. Ask my local library, they have a hit out on me.
