If on a Winter's Night a Traveller

[Ya Sam]

Thanks for the response, everybody. What I liked about this book a lot is 
the way it depicted the pleasures and frustrations related to reading. Also, 
taken separately, the incidents in this novel are not that fantastic at all. 
Just from my own experience: I did buy a book once that had several blank 
pages (typographical defect) or, on another occasion, I ordered Umberto 
Eco's 'Foucault's Pendulum' but they sent to me 'The Island of the Day 
Before', so, I thought, what the hell, read it and kept it. I'm pretty sure 
that many of you also had similar frustrating/unexpected adventures with 
books. And Calvino's ability to imitate different styles is also very 
impressive.
