However, timing it to coincide with his birthday which is today, Feb 3rd rather than the anniversary of his death in April.  Wrapping up on the 10th, we\u2019re including books by his wife Siri Hustvedt too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Our buddy read is his last published novel \u2018<strong><em>Baumgartner<\/em><\/strong>\u2018. It\u2019ll be interesting to hear your comments on it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This post will remain sticky for the duration.  Please do comment \u2013 here are a few prompts to get you talking\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Which is your favourite of his books?  <\/li>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Have you tried one of his volumes of memoir?  <\/li>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">What about his favourite themes of chance and coincidence and  echoes from the past amongst many others\u2026<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Which of Hustvedt\u2019s books do you like best?  Do they resonate with Auster\u2019s?<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I\u2019ve not included her,  but Auster was married for five years in the mid-late 1970s to Lydia Davis before Hustvedt?  Thoughts on her books?<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Has anyone read his 800 page biography of Stephen Crane, <em>Burning Boy<\/em>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you post a review on your blog during the week (or want to draw attention to one you\u2019ve previously posted), please do leave a link \u2013 either in the Mr Linky below or as a comment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>I\u2019m looking forward to reading your posts and comment.
