Having read High Rise, a tale of violence and societal breakdown in a tower block, you have to be careful about where you go next. Something longer is in order because of the relative speed that was completed.
So next up is the second book purchased specially for the holiday The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster. Recommended by various people I follow on Twitter and blogs this also has the feel of being a ‘dead cert’ in terms of being time well spent.
