This book is on the "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die" list.

"In the literary world, there is little that can match the excitement of opening a new book by David Markson. From Wittgenstein’s Mistress to Reader’s Block to Springer’s Progress to This Is Not a Novel, he has delighted and amazed readers for decades. And now comes his latest masterwork, Vanishing Point, wherein an elderly writer (identified only as "Author") sets out to transform shoeboxes crammed with notecards into a novel — and in so doing will dazzle us with an astonishing parade of revelations about the trials and calamities and absurdities and often even tragedies of the creative life — all the while trying his best (he says) to keep himself out of the tale. Naturally he will fail to do the latter, frequently managing to stand aside and yet remaining undeniably central throughout — until he is swept inevitably into the narrative’s startling and shattering climax. A novel of death and laughter both — and of extraordinary intellectual richness."

This looks really amusing - so much so that I quit my current read and started this one instead...

Thanks for sending it, 42again!

Yes, very entertaining - especially on my commute to and from work. I actually googled some of the things mentioned in the book and leaned some interesting tidbits. I'll see that I find someone else to pass the book on to.

This book is on its way to Greece. Happy reading!

The book arrived today with a lovely paper lantern. Thank you so much !

An interesting experimental novel, clever and rather addictive. I could have read more and more of this. A book really worthwhile to read one or even more times.

For the winner or decoy of the tombola de mars. Congratulations !

Un livre qui a déjà bien voyagé et que je me réjouis de lire, merci Lubiette !

This book was rather interesting but I didn´t like it as much as you.
I hope the next reader will like it better than I

gagné à la tombola anglophone
j´espère qu il te plaîra!

Le livre se trouvant entre vos mains est un livre voyageur! Ce serait gentil d'inscrire une note pour me dire où vous l'avez trouvé puis après sa lecture (et une opinion ou pas!), de lui rendre sa liberté.
Dans tous les cas, bienvenue au monde du Bookcrossing !

Reçu ce matin, merci Meg615! :)

I might have missed something, but I didn't find any interest in this book.

Pour un touriste probablement ! :)
