Has anyone else read anything by him? What did you think?

I read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and I really enjoyed it. I borrowed it from the library and wish I had bought it. I also read about half of Everything Is Illuminated but it was pretty confusing. Good thing they made a movie :)

I saw the movie first, then saw it was a book and just HAD to read it.  I absolutely loved it.  I just finished extremely loud and incredibly close last week and it was just as, if not more wonderful.  I wish he would write more.  I have looked up little articles and short stories online by him and seem to enjoy everything I come across

I've heard nothing but wonderful about the movie Everything is Illuminated.  I still haven't seen it, but it makes me want to read his stuff now.

you really should! If you are a crier, beware lol...that's part of his charm, laughing hysterically and sobbing in the same book.  he is very charming in his language, I just feel like he wholly embraces the voice of his characters.
