Journal Entry 1 by penelopewanders from Hasliberg, Bern / Berne Switzerland on Wednesday, February 15, 2006

From the back cover, " Six months after losing his wife and two young sons in a plane crash, Vermont professor David Zimmer spends his waking hours mired in alcoholic grief and self-pity. Then, watching television one night, he stumbles upon a lost film.....""... a strange and intense journey into a shadow-world of lies, illusions and unexpected love..." Well-written and engrossing. Not necessarily available for trade, but certainly for bookrings.

Paul Auster is always an excellent reading for me, since he is one of my favourite authors. I was not dissapointed and I'll certainly try to get my own copy. Thanks Sonia!

Great great book! Crazy story but really captivating, as with other Paul Auster books... I'm glad I got to read this one, thanks penelopewanders.

I have one ring before this one. 

Journal Entry 16 by penelopewanders from Hasliberg, Bern / Berne Switzerland on Tuesday, April 15, 2008

This has been with the same crosser since November, so it feels very stalled. cat207 has very kindly offered to pick up where this one has ended, so as soon as I can figure out how to make the link to the ray which has ended with her, I will. Meanwhile I am once again awed by the kindness of fellow bookcrossers, willing to pick up the slack when necessary!

UPDATE
cat207 is
replacing this stalled / lost ring / ray. You can see the journal entries
