I like Neil Gaiman and I'm so glad he is in support of giving Charlie Hebdo Pen award.

I'm also met Art Spiegelman attending a Pen event, and at the talk, he did speak about the important of freedom of expression. And true to his words, he back Charlie Hebdo getting the reward. 

This would stay with me for a long time. 

So happy to read Paul Auster, another one of my favorite writers are supporting this as well. 

"So many writers have come out to express their support for freedom of expression. 

Gaiman tweeted: “I’ll be hosting a table at the PEN event because it’s important.” He told the Associated Press in an email: “I was honoured to be invited to host a table. The Charlie Hebdo cartoonists are getting an award for courage: They continued putting out their magazine after the offices were firebombed, and the survivors have continued following the murders.”

“They died for their beliefs. The award is for courage that transcends our like or dislike of them,” Nafisi tweeted this weekend. She also wrote: “PEN award to CH is recognition of the writers’ & artists’ rights to ‘disturb the peace,’ regardless of the price”."

Here is a good writers list that worth a mention.

I'm so glad I've finished this trilogy!

I don't know what to say about this book. It is the same as the first two books. The same themes, the same kind of story, and for me the same kind of disappointments. I'm glad I've finished the trilogy now, so I can move on to a book that doesn't loose sight of the story in order to write stylistic books (which is fine by me, but not when it also implicates that there won't be a story...)

The locked room is the third and final novel in The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster.

'A ghost!'

'Where?'

Never mind, because as the reader will have already noticed, this is just some post modern plot device.

You just have to love it.

With Ghosts, Paul Auster's second book in The New York Trilogy, I once again really liked the beginning. OK, I wasn't sure about all people having colours for names, but still, I really liked the story. And then, after that, it just kind of stopped for me. I found the end very unsatisfactory, and I'm still wondering if and how the three parts of this trilogy will fit together.

I don't know what to say about this story. I liked the beginning and was intrigued by the story, but at times and especially near the end more often than not I was thinking, stop this post-modernistic nonsense and try and complete the story.
I felt I was left with more questions than usual...

Because this book claims to be a detective story, and yes, there is a detective in it, but is seems to me it's more a story of looking for oneself than someone.
