Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant
of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful
stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author's words
reverberating in your head.
Paul Auster
Happy 67th birthday, Paul Auster! As a novelist, he is preoccupied
with the concept of chance. At 14, Auster was standing next to a friend
who was struck and killed by a bolt of lightning.
