If on a Winter's Night a Traveller

> Just finished. Awesome book. Some pages reminded me of some pages of AtD. 
> Has anyone read it?

   No, but it's another that's been mighty close to breaching of late.  
Someone mentioned/will mention Invisible Cities, which is one awesome
book indeed.  It's amazing something so short could pack such a punch.
It ain't the meat, it's the notion, or some such.  Read IC very soon,
I urge you.  
   It's the book that brought a simmering confusion to fruition, to wit 
how I can I compare skinny little gems with GR?  Two wholey distinct 
concoctions.  Well, I can't.  So, with no further ado, here is my
list of the most excellent adventures in literature under some hand
waving number in the near hundreds (no particular order)

   Invisible Cities             Italo Calvino
   Too Loud A Solitude          Bohumil Hrabal
   Pafko at the Wall            Don DeLillio
   Waiting for the Barbarians   J.M Coetzee
   The Burnt Orange Heresy      Charles Willeford
